Dakota Lithium Battery Swap

[21BRONCO]

Hello yall,
My broncos been needing a new battery MY2022, was thinking of going with a lithium battery based on the all the pros with them.
My question is if its a easy swap and use or do I need to change the alternator for proper charging and etc.

Saw that and didn’t need the dual battery setup because I’m not drawing a lot of power for accessories. Just needed a simple good battery that will last and won’t need to worry about it.

This thread may help. It's not a Dakota but is a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery:

I adjusted my Battery SOC in Forscan to 100% - not sure even that was necessary and I may go back in and knock it back down - it's holding my Antigravity at around 13.4V resting (about 90% SOC on LiFePo). Pretty much just make sure you reset the BMS and allow the vehicle enough rest time to do the SOC calibration.
