Time to buy new batteries. I would like to go to Lithium and was wondering if the OEM Freedom HFS inverter will charge them correctly.

Pros and Cons?

Not familiar with the Freedom products but if it is a combo inverter charger you will need to check to see if it programmable.

LiFEPO4 batteries have specific charging parameters
 
As for lithium batteries I recommend getting one that have cold temp protection. They cost a little more but can prevent cold weather charging damage. Its possible your inverter-charger has a "custom" charging setting. If it does then use the charge specs from your new lithium batteries. They are usually printed on the batteries.

My 2017 has the Magnum invertor/convertor with inside control panel. I plan on updating my 8 batteries to lithium in the spring and was informed that the control panel can be set to the correct parameters.
