My current setup does not include a lithium battery but I'm considering investing in one shortly. I currently have a 40A Nordelettronica NE325 DC/DC converter, a 17A Nordelettronica NE287 battery charger and a cheapo Mestic solar controller. All are standard fit and all except the solar controller support a lithium charging profile.
I understand that I need to change the solar controller, and that seems straightforward, but I can't get my head around the rest of the system! I know that I should change the NE325 to the lithium profile but I'm unclear about the NE287. Does the NE287 directly charge both batteries on EHU, in which case I would assume it is incorrect to select a lithium profile? If it only charges the vehicle battery then how does the leisure battery get changed as the NE325 appears to receive a signal that only changes the leisure battery when then engine is running?
I apologise if these are stupid questions that have already been answered many times, but my searching hasn't come across the answer so far!
Thanks.
