Time to Replace Battery

It seems the time has come to replace my Scamp Battery. It's been a little low lately and just now, mid-trip, it started beeping at me and dropping consistently. I was wondering about an upgrade to a Lithium battery.

was wondering what you'd recommend and if it would be plug&play?

 

Until, I'm going to hook up a generator and try to get some charge on it to get me through the next couple of days. If I do this, does the DC switch need to be on to get the charge or will it charge it either way? 
 

 

Thanks!

year & converter/charger

If your Scamp is more than 10 years old, the converter/charger is not designed to handle lithium batteries.  A new converter/charger for lithium, AGM, and lead acid batteries is $200 from Scamp.  Otherwise, a quick fix is a new deep cycle marine battery.
