Ours plugs into any AC outlet, same goes for most stand alone converter chargers.👍

Just pick one that fits your needs. My old converter is in the basement keeping the sump pump lifelines charged.

BTW... Why are they not in the AS?
If they are in the house, charged completely, and not being used they will stay charged just fine.

I keep our 2 BB's isolated, in the AS all year. NP

Just got them a few days ago. Don't have access to my AS. Still in indoor storage due to the coronavirus.

Don't worry about them, they will be fine. They have been sitting alone since they were born.
For POM....get a volt meter.. This is a good one at a fair price.👍

I got this one to top off both of my lithium batteries before I stored them away for the winter.

Good news about lifepos is that once you get them charged you can disconnect them and they will hold for months.

we use Victron products

the 3k victron charger /inverter replaces the stock converter unit in or AS.

it works well and keeps the BB lion charger we also use the victron BMV 712 to monitor the battery

Look at the NOCO Genius chargers. Work well for my Battle Borns.
