Do I need a new converter?
Just bought a 2023 GD 303 RLS, I want to put in lithium batteries, why would the RV not be ready for lithium batteries? I thought most RVs are ready for lithium batteries. I guess I thought wrong.

Extra cost to the manufacturer that many may not want! Even GD does what it can to keep end cost as low as they can to the consumer. Lithium, and all that goes with it, is by default a user upgrade.

Sounds like another chance for GD to provide a Lithium upgrade option to distinguish themselves. Probably never gonna happen, but it would help them up their game.

It could be ready, my 398 has the auto detect converter which is supposed to be for any kind of battery. I do plan on swapping to lithium shortly, but I'm also planning on changing to a Progressive Dynamics 9160AL, which is designed for lithium; not a huge fan of the WFCO converters.

You don't have to install a new converter. Lithium will work on the factory one, just not to full capability
