Does Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter Battery Charger # PD9160ALV Have 2-Stage Charger

Question

Question:

Im interested in purchasing the Progressive Dynamics PD9160ALV converter for Lithium batteries. On the PD website, it states the converter manufactured after August 2021 have the 2 stage charging and should have a sticker to verify the charger is 2 stage. So, the question is, is the PD9160ALV converter that you sell have the 2 stage charging? Thanks
