What Needs To Be Changed on a 2023 Forest River XLR Hyper Lite 3016 When Switching To Lithium  

Question:

Hello, I’m currently trying to upgrade my battery bank to a 200ah lithium battery. I don’t believe my current system is setup for that. Currently have one 190w go power solar panel and plan to add one or two more eventually. Currently have the WF-8930/50 which I don’t believe accepts charging a lithium battery properly. RV: 2023 Forest River XLR Hyper Lite 3016 Question: What do I need to upgrade to charge correctly and everything work properly?

The WF-8930/50 power center does not actually do any charging for your batteries. Instead you are going to have a deck mount power converter somewhere in your camper. If you can find this then I can confirm if you are going to need a different Converter # PD79RR.

You will simply need to switch the battery type on the screen for your solar power to let it know you are using a Lithium battery.

You will most likely need to switch to a larger battery box. If you can confirm the dimensions on your larger battery I can verify what boxes we have that will fit it.

Hey Bud, Isn’t this the converter? Got it off my panel picture attached. Model WF-8930/50

@JasonC That is the power center but it doesn't have a built in converter like some offer. It only has the 120volt breakers and 12 volt fuses. Somewhere else on your camper you will find a converter box as a stand alone unit similar in appearance to the Converter # PD79RR.
