Does TV charge lithium?

[AZMike]

@AZMike - what size battery are we talking about?

I was not really looking for an answer with a specific setup, just a general question. I would like to know if my TV would charge a lithium battery sufficiently (any size) traveling between campgrounds, and trying to decide if it's worth doing an upgrade to lithium. I also have a large alternator, and there is a "fix" available for my truck to allow it to charge my truck battery at an optimum voltage if I were to replace it with a lithium. For my needs, probably not, as I carry a briefcase solar panel, and an IGen 4500DF. I cannot justify the expense. "Go big or go home" as they say. I go big with certain things, but probably not this one.

Thanks. My truck, in fact, does charge my house battery while it is running. Another one of the nice features of the Compass Connect!

IMO, it's always worthwhile to replace lead acid with lithium (LiFePO4). There are many benefits and the only downside (at least short term) is the additional cost. Long term, lithium is cheaper. The battery chemistry shouldn't affect your charging decision.
