LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE BATTERIES (LIFEPO4) - CHARGING METHODS
How to charge LiFePO4 batteries? That is one of the most frequent questions we get from our customers. The answer is simple: obviously, you should use a LiFePO4 battery charger. While charging LiFePO4 batteries, verify that you are not using a charger meant for other lithium-ion chemistries, which are generally designed- with a higher voltage than what is required by LiFePO4. We are generally asked if a lead-acid battery charger can be used to charge lithium iron phosphate. The exact answer is yes, as long as the voltage settings are within the acceptable parameters of LiFePO4 batteries. CHARGER INSPECTION While using a LiFePO4 charger, check that your charger’s cables are reclusive and free of breakage. Charger terminal connectors should be clean and well companion with the battery terminals to ensure a good connection and optimum conductivity. CHARGING GUIDELINES If LiFePO4 batteries are not entirely discharged, they do not need to be charged after using individually. LiFePO4...
