If you are looking to just keep batteries charged, it depends on how much wattage you need for your batteries. For example, for a low-wattage of less than 200 watts, I recommend using the Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System - 190 Watt Solar Panel # 34282183. Not only does this system provide you with 190 watts to keep your batteries charged, it comes with a charging system controller that is completely compatible with your lithium batteries.
As another example, if you need more of a moderate-level power solution of between 200-500 watts, that would be the Go Power Solar Elite - 380 Watt # 34282184. This option also comes with a charging system controller that is lithium-compatible.
Additionally, these 2 parts already come with an inverter that changes DC output into AC. If you need to upgrade your converter to lithium compatibility, it really depends on what model you have currently because converters need to be direct replacements.
Feel free to respond to this answer with your current converter model, and I will be happy to recommend an upgrade for you. I went ahead and attached demo videos that walk you through these panels. Additionally, I attached a helpful article to and a solar calculator link to assist you.
