What Does Smart System Not Included With Progressive Dynamics Lithium Converter and Battery Charger

Question:

What is a smart system and do you need one if your batteries have a BMS? Im looking at the PD9180ALV for two 90 AH batteries.

The smart system not included basically means the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger part # PD9180ALV does not include the charging wizard for the Lithium batteries. The charging wizard was a charger that monitors the RV battery voltage and then selects one of three charging voltages and one of four operating modes to properly re-charge and maintain the RV battery. The lithium battery chargers PD9180ALV just give out a constant 14V charge according to Progessive. The charger is still compatible with your batteries with BMS (battery management system). Since you are using two 90 Amp Hour batteries the PD9180ALV is what you need.
