My little teardrop trailer has one 12 volt deep cycle SLA battery and has a very modest power draw. I'd like to replace the battery with LiFePo and worried about the charging provided by the trailer's built-in charger. It's got an "all in one" AC panel, DC panel, charging package. Of course, LiFePo wasn't really much of a thing back in 2010 when this was built so I suspect the charger isn't up to the task of charging LiFePo batteries with the proper charging profile.
I'd like to keep the AC/DC combination panel and remove/replace the charger with something appropriate to LiFePo. I'm not planning on installing a solar system right away so I'm looking for a charger that takes 120 volts from the shore power and charges the battery via AC.
I bought the Victron IP 67 for charging my SOK 12v100 at home and wondering if something like this would be a good fit for the trailer too?
