I would like to fit a Lithium battery
NOTE: Most of the Sargent systems have a Battery Charger like a PX300 or PF200 connected to the system. If your vehicle has another charger fitted, please consult the manufacturers manual to check it's compatibility with Lithium batteries.
The PX300 charging profile is suitable for many Lithium batteries designed for the leisure industry that are fitted with an internal Battery Management System (BMS).
The link below will take you to the product page for the PX300 where you will find a downloadable attachment detailing the charging profile and voltages. You will need to ask the battery manufacturer of your choice if the
PX300 charger would be suitable for their battery.

Charging Profile PX300 Charger
Sargent systems fitted with a PX300 are: EC328, EC400 Series, EC500, EC600, EC700, EC800, EC400+
If your system is NOT fitted with a PX300 then your charger will
have a fixed voltage of 13.8V and this is normally considered to be unsuitable
to fully charge a Lithium battery.
You will need to consider if you also need to install a DC-DC
charger when changing your battery to Lithium to limit the charging current.
