The batteries will actually last longer in this scenario because of the charging pattern and the fact that LiFePO4 batteries do not need to be charged to 100% like PbSO4.
The option I would choose would be to either upgrade via PS to their lithium compatible version converter/charger
Of course you can always ditch them Bothell and install an inverter / charger and not even use the converter at all but I know that wasn’t your question

Thanks, I'll factor the cost of a new converter (if I don't have the Li option) into the cost of switching to lithium batteries.

When I need the batteries the most (dry camping) I guess my solar panels and Victron 100/50 would be working towards the 100% point.
