I Have A Renogy Dcc50s. I Have It Set To Charge Lithium Batteries, Blue Light. My Question Is. Will It Damage A SLA Battery To Use The Lithium Setting On SLA Batteries. I Would Like To Install A Switch So I Could Use The Dcc50s To Charge Both My Lithium Battery Bank As Well As A Separate And Independent SLA Battery Bank If Necessary Without Changing The Dcc50s' Battery Type To SLA. I Do Not Want To Take The Chance That I May Forget To Change The Battery Type Back To Lithium And Accidentally Damage My Expensive Lithium Batteries. Thank You For You Time And Advice.

 
Yes.
Sla is a lower peak voltage than Lifepo4 cells. You would be better off accidentally charging the lifepo4 on sla setting than sla on lifepo4...
If your lithium batteries are lico or lipo, then sla will be vastly overcharged...
