How to Upgrade PD4045KA Converter to Use Lithium Batteries

Question

Question:

PD4045KA in my 2019 Eclips Stella 27FS. It does NOT have the LA/LI switch. The converter is horizontal versus verticle that Ive seen in the pictures youve posted. Is mine not capable of charging LifePO4 batteries? Is there some additional part I can buy to make it Lithium battery capable?
