Replacement Converter for Progressive Dynamics PD9160A That is Lithium Compatible

Question

Question:

I currently have this Pd-9160a converter. I bought 2 100a lithium 12v batteries to replace my lead acid batteries 2 in parallel. What is the easiest way to go on upgrading my converter? And are the new ones a converter/charger combo?

You would need to replace the converter you have now with one that is Lithium battery compatible since that's the battery style you have now and they charge at a higher voltage. For that we have the part # PD9160ALV which is a 60 amp converter/charger like what you have now that but it is lithium compatible.
