i am think of changing my Lead acid battery for a Lithium , can this just plug and play so to speak also any recomendations as my lead acid only lasts 24 hours , what is the average for a lesuire battery to last
 
You'll need to change the units/devices that charge your leisure battery to use a profile suited to Lithium.

There is no average. It's best to build your installation according to your needs.

There is no average it depends on what you are using (consumers) and the cross section / length of the DC cables (resistance).
50% of any lead / acid battery is available for use, if the charge is reduced below 50% it is irreparably damaged.
Most vans have a means of charging the leisure battery, battery to battery or solar or both.
With Lithium batteries more than 90% of the battery capacity is available for use.
If you have a charger for the current lead / acid it probably won’t be compatible with the lithium battery, neither will some of the cables as a lithium battery max’ charge and discharge rate is much higher than a lead / acid.
 
Maybe post a picture of your current battery setup and your charging components and people will be able to help more easily.but with LiFePo you’ll get double the amount of useable power over the equivalent lead acid (although 80 discharge is optimal to prolong life).
I’d never go back after upgrading about 2 years ago. It’s fit and forget and easily managed with a phone app.
Have a look at the Fogstar drift 100Ah
 
Hi how would I do that , I’m hopless
Read the instruction books? If you don't have them you can probably Google them.

I have the same B2B charger so if you get stuck let me know and I'll photo the relevant page for you.
 
The blue victron charger pair it up to your smart phone and press the settings cog and it will come up battery etc touch the battery icon and lead, agm, gel and lithium will display then set to lithium.
