Exclamation LiFePO4 Batt = ?upgrade charger?

I'm considering upgrading my 'house' batts to LiFePO4, everything I'm reading says it is important to have the 'proper' charger.
My Question?
will my charger in my 2006 be sufficient or do I need to change the legacy charger?
(any replies are welcome!)

Maybe, maybe not, what charger / converter do you currently have? Some will be fine with LiFePo4, some will not.

Battleborn can be a good reference, though in my experience they lean towards telling people to replace their charging system even when it it might work ok
