When I picked up my 297TSTS, the dealer left a huge packet of owner's manuals for just about every component on the TT. If you received this, you should have a manual in there. Otherwise, if you know where your converter is (mine is directly behind my electrical service panel and can be accessed by taking off the louvered panel for the credenza cabinet) just have a look at the make/model number for yours. Although, as others have stated, I'm pretty sure it's set up for LAcid, AGM and GEL.

TV DC power to Inverter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay so lets say we have 2 acid 12v batteries fully charged while dry camping.
Regardless if they are charged that day with a Solar set up or a handy Generator
If I connect the TV to a seperate small inverter (next to the aTV) and have the inverter pull power directly from the rig via plug outlet.
The question is how long could someone watch TV in this manner?
How do I figure this out?
How would this "watch time" compare to 2 full charged 12v 100 Amp Lithium batteries?
What small inverter would you recommend?
Thank you in advance.

The WFCO model charger for a Lithium battery is WF-9850L2. That is the one I installed when I installed my Lithium battery. Look at your owners manual to see which battery charger you have. Check out WFCO web site. Again also look into a battery monitor. Those four lights GD gives you are for Christmas decorations.

I've been doing some research on jumping to LFP batteries, too. I noticed that on the bioennopower dot com web site, they sell a charger with battery for an extra 20 bucks. I'd assume it must be plugged to grid power, however, there has to be convertors/inverters and the like to do the job. I'm planning to give them a call soon. You might consider looking for companies like this who have RV specialists, too. The link is to their RV products pages.

I’m going to ask you a question based on the info in your post. With my 2020 Chevy 3500 can I safely use lithium batteries in my fifth wheel without damaging the truck alternator? I am having 4 200 watt solar panels installed but my concern is I have read that vehicle alternators will be destroyed by the high draw the alternator is using to charge the lithium batteries through the seven way trailer connection. The dealer installing the system says a LIBIM is not needed to protect the alternator as the truck alternator is protected by the low output though the seven way cord. What is your opinion. Thanks

I'm no expert but using the 7 pin will not cause alt. issues with lithium's. They are able to be charged quickly with high amperage but they don't require it and wont pull it out of the alt. If the alternator tried to push anywhere near max amps though the 7 pin, it would melt down the wiring in the truck long before it ever hurt the alt. Now if you bypassed the stock system and ran a heavy gauge wire from the alternator to the batteries without something to regulate the charge I could definitely see a potential issue.
My 2017 GMC has been running with lithium's on the stock charging system for 4 years without issue.2021 Solitude 375 RES-R

When the solar system was installed in my Reflection 303RLS I decided to disconnect the truck alternator charging wire to avoid potential problems. The alternator charging wire that ran from the 7 pin connector to the front storage bay was disconnected at the panel in the storage bay. The Victron solar charge controller charges the lithium batteries at the correct voltage as we drive.
