Do I need a new charge wizard if I get a lithium ion battery?

I currently have this charge wizard for use with my 12 volt lead acid battery.

If I decide to upgrade to a lithium ion battery for weight savings do I need to get a new charge wizard?

I hope not...

I purchased  the Wizard because I was told that it would help fully charge the Li batteries. The description says that it will charge with the 14.4 volts needed for the complete charge.How ever, when I got the Scamp out of storage I found that mine already had a built in charge Wizard. I've been on three trips with it now and all has been well, I also charge with a solar panel and a dc to dc charger from the tow vehicle.

Mine is a pd9245c

and the pendent will work as a manual over ride. I do not feel that it was wasted money.

1998 13 Scamp- 30 Amp Electric to 110v interior at home not work

I recently purchased a 1998 13 Scamp in good condition. 

When I plug it into power at home my 110 V outlets and light above my sink do still don't work.

My question is do I have to be pulling 30amps at the outlet for my 110V to work? Because my outlet at home is only pilling 14.4 Amps according to my RV surge protector. 

I have checked that the power plug is connected to main fuse box and all circuit are on in 110V fuse box.

Thanks for the help and any advice?.

Not necessary...

Those things not working would be caused by something else... check their circuit beakers and bulbs. You can plug any RV into any plug at home, at an RV park, campgrounds,  etc. There are adapters to allow for this. Mismatching the plug, amps etc is only a factor when you use the big items inside the camper. For instance,  I have a microwave and an air conditioner. If I used them simultaneously on a home 110 outlet,  I'd blow my fuse in the house when it exceeded the amperage. If I use them on a 30 or 50 amp outlet,  it's all ok. When using adapters, heed the amps for the line (wire), the circuit breaker, and the adapter- cheaper ones may have a lower amp rating.
