You can drop them in and use your current charger although a charger for lithium is best. The charger you have now will charge them but it most likely wont charge to full capacity. Given that it most likely would still give more useable power than the lead acid. I have dont a LOT of searching for a lithium charger and 99% are way expensive. Then I decided to check Progressive industries who provides a lot of the inverter/chargers for RV manufacturers.

If you are going to drop the cash for Lithiums dont stop because a charger is $200, make use of what the battery is capable of. Nice thing about lithiums is they will completely charge in about 2-3 hours from almost dead on a 200 amp battery. If using a standard charger you arent suppose to let it go into equalization mode.
