    Converter on new 150s

    I am trying to figure out if GD has started putting updated lithium switch converters in the 150 series. A couple people I follow with imagines got the one that you can switch to lithium charge vs lead acid. If it does I may upgrade my batteries with he dealer before I pick it up.

    Thanks
    Dave

    My Reflection has a WFCO WF-9855 converter. I'd like to take out the 1 ton lead acid battery and replace it with a lithium battery. I know that the current converter will not fully charge lithium, but since it is much lighter, as I currently do with my lead acid between trips (which may vary in time) I take the battery out so I can monitor it and place it on a charger when needed. If I continued this practice, would it result in a major issue for a lithium 27 lb battery? At 75, I would like to deal with a lighter battery!!!

    Should it not be a significant issue, what do I need to look for in a lithium 100ah battery? Recommendations are welcome.
