Educating yourself is vital for seeing if in fact you will benefit from converting and then, if you do convert, how to configure your system so that you achieve the greatest benefits.
In the Sprinter conversion I'm working on the lithium is mostly advantageous when you boondock a lot and drive regularly with a second engine driven alternator with its own voltage regulator charging the lithium batteries. If you want to wear out your brain, just peruse the lithium system information on the Class B Forum website. Beware, it may short circuit your synapses, but the information there is deep and wide. In Sprinters the big driver is for all electric vans with 2-8 hours of A/C use. There seems to be a great desire to eliminate propane generators since many consider them to be noisy maintenance hogs. B-vans are trending towards lithium but that is far from meaning it's sensible in all situations.
Learn baby learn, and enjoy.
