    2017 Reflection 29RS battery charger

    Hi All,
    Does anybody know where I can find information on what type of charge controller is used in a 2017 Reflection 29RS? I ask because I would like (one day) to use Lithium ION batteries. I know some charges "Say" they can do wet cell AND Lithium, but those usually tend NOT to charge Lithium to 100%.

    Thanks!

    Fill in the option drop down boxes and look under "Electrical". You'll find 430021 : CONVERTER CHARGER DECKMOUNT 55 AMP DC OUTPUT 15 AMP A/C CORD

    I *think* it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/WFCO-WF-9855-.../dp/B004A30UHG

    Welcome to the forum.
    The battery charger in the 303 is actually a WEFCO convert/charger 55 amp I believe , nothing smart about it just a generally used system.

    Thanks Brian, I guess I should've asked is this typically a 3 stage charger?

    The WFCO chargers used by Grand Design are three stage chargers that you can leave hooked up continuously without damage to the battery. However, if using a flooded lead acid battery, you should check the water levels on a routine basis.

    These chargers will work with a LiFePo battery and keep it charged. However, they are not the best solution for these types of batteries. I changed to a Progressive Dynamics PD9160ALV charger that is specifically designed to charge at a higher voltage needed for LiFePo batteries. The higher voltage will greatly reduce charging times for these batts.
