LiFePO RV batteries have an internal controller to regulate the charging voltage to each cell (3.25 - 3.65 volts) as well as the output voltage. Unlike lead acid batteries each LiFePO cell must be monitored and the voltage controlled. The only thing to remember is that lithium batteries are temperature sensitive and should not be charged when they are below 32 degrees.
