My understanding is that a fully-charged lead acid produces about 12.9V, LiPO4 tops out about 13.8. You’re saying that the propane detector is sensitive about its supplied voltage? How did you address this? (Not sure what you mean by “12v converter”) Any other components you found sensitive?

Sorry I meant a DC 12v stabilizer…
For example:
DC-DC Stabilizer, DROK 9V-36V to 12V
Boost Buck Converter 5A 60W Waterproof Auto Step Up Down Voltage Regulator 12V Volt Transformer for Car Audio Solar Power System LCD Television LED Display Screen [URL deleted].
On mine, the propane detector was the only intolerant component. The fridge is actually much happier with the higher voltage.
I actually suspect that PowerMax now makes a Li version of the main system. Though if you’re also wiring for solar, there is likely more complexity in your diagram than the powermax will do.
In my case I’m using a Renogy 50 dual to handle all DC power sources, a Victron smart 30A IP22 to handle AC to DC shore charging,, a renogy 2000w pure sine inverter for AC on battery, and a cheap manual rotary switch to handle shore power to battery power changeover.
Hope that helps.
