Looking at the current PD-4000 series manual though, I thought this was curious - "The optional OUTPUT MODE SWITCH sets the converter output to either a constant 14.6VDC with the Charge Wizard® disabled".  So does that mean that in lithium mode, it's just constant 14.6 v and then off?

Thinking I must have missed something, I just went back and reread this entire topic. Enough questions have been raised to justify keeping it alive for awhile.

Lithium compatibility, vis a vis chargers, often means just leaving the spigot wide open and letting the BMS handle charging requirements.

How is Oliver connecting the Xantrex?  Are they still running it though the PD-4000 but with the charger module removed, or are they using a different distribution box?

Since 2020 MY, documentation has been sketchy and reverse engineering the U is inconclusive. It seems as though the PD 9000 converters are now used to some extent but there is nothing other than the PD 4000 for distribution mentioned. I would expect to see a converter-less 5000 in its place. It wouldn't be a surprise if the multiple charging sources are just left to fight it out. At least with lithium, one source can be made dominant.

I am seeing two different threads with the same topic name of "LifeBlue Battery Representative".  This one has 25 (26 counting this one) replies and the other one has 75 replies with a lot of information on it as well.  Pretty confusing actually - didn't think having alternate universe threads would be possible?

There are actually three threads on the same topic, if you count the more generic one on Oliver’s Lithium Pro package. 

I agree that it’s confusing. If @LiFeBlueBattery and none of the other moderators object, I can at least merge the two vendor threads. Or it might be better to just lock one of them since merging would intertwine different conversations.

I say lock one . . . . . let us know what you decide as we continue to follow the Lithium discussion.

OK, I'm going to lock this one since it's the shortest and I think that the other location makes more sense.  Please continue discussion in the thread below.
