    I do not have lithium. It never does really charge to full, as I have a rather small suitcase panel and don't charge it very long. Besides, I since purchased an inverter/generator.

    I purchased a 120w Go Power suitcase in 2016. It came with Andersen connectors. It even comes with 1 that attaches to the batteries.



    I made the connector come out below the propane tank compartment, so the connection is very easy.

    Make sure the solar controller on your panel is set to charge the lithium batteries. KEN

    If we knew what RV you have, we might be able to give you more help. See the bottom of most of the member's posts and look at their signatures. This is created in my settings. KEN

    The 4 lines of text at the bottom of your post. I checked into Settings and can't find where that information should go.

    My 120W portable panel does 5-6 amps in mostly full sun. It's never gotten near filling my 315ah LFP bank.

    Even if yours does 10A for 12 hours solid that's only 120AH. So it may take days fill your bank from empty unless in the SW in August and you aren't using power.

    I have used a 100 watt Renolgy lightweight suitcase solar panel for a year. As soon as i get set up in my camp i hookit up to a controller and to my 10 amp input on my imagine xls 22 mle. It keeps my 2 lead acid interstate batteries charged for as long as im boondocking. In my case, i use the fridge and water heater on propane. I minimize my usage of battery draining stuff such as water pump. When i need the microwave or wifes hairdryer we use a honda 2200i inverter generator. For the tv we have a small solar generator we use and charge it with another 100 watt suitcase solar panel the next day after a night of use. Works great for us.
