For a complete charge of a 12V LiFePO4 battery, a charger with a voltage ranging of 14.4V±0.2V is necessary. If a charger with a lower voltage is used, it can still charge the battery, but it won't reach full 100% capacity.
Trickle charging is not acceptable for lithium batteries. Charging a LiFePO4 battery with a trickle charger not designed for this type of battery could lead to overcharging or damage due to the different charging requirements of lithium batteries compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
The 14.6V 10Ah LiFePO4 battery charger is designed to charge LiFePO4 batteries. The low resistance in the Lithium cells allow the battery to accept the full output from the charger. With a constant 10A current, it takes around 100Ah/10A=10hrs to fully charge a 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery.
Leaving a lithium-ion battery on the charger overnight should be safe if the charger is set with the correct voltage limit for the type of lithium-ion battery being used. For instance, with a LiFePO4 cell like the one used in LiTime Battery (with a nominal voltage of 12.8V and a fully charged voltage of 14.6v), using a charger with a 14.4-14.6V CC/CV output should work, provided it doesn't exceed roughly a 1C maximum current output. By following the CC/CV profile, ensuring the voltage is correct, and the current isn't excessive, you can safely achieve a full charge for your battery.
It depends on the voltages of your LiFePO4 lithium batteries. LiTime 14.6 volts charger is recommended for 12V LiFePO4 lithium batteries.
And LiTime 29.2 volt charger is recommended for 24V LiFePO4 lithium batteries.
Please refer on Guide of Charging Different Voltage's Lithium Batteries for more detailed information.
It is always important to match your charger to deliver the correct current and voltage for the LiFePO4 lithium battery you are charging. For example, you wouldn't use a 24V charger to charge a 12V LiFePO4 lithium battery. It's also recommended that you use a charger matched to your battery chemistry. Additionally, when charging a LiFePO4 lithium battery with a normal lead-acid charger, you would want to ensure that the charger does not have a desulfation mode or a dead battery mode.
No. This charger is designed only for LiFePO4 batteries. For charging Lead-Acid, LiFePO4, or NCM batteries, we recommend using our LiTime Multi-Bank Chargers, including 12V+24V 10A, 12V+36V 10A, 12V 10A 2-Bank, 12V 10A 3-Bank, and 12V 10A 4-Bank.
Built solid and works to spec
The 10 amp charger was delivered promptly, just as a previous order was.
I have an 100ah marine battery from almost drained to a full charge takes 10 hours max. It’s “slow” compared to the other bigger chargers but I like this because I can charge overnight and be full by the time we load the boat.
This does exactly what is was meant to. It charges LiTime LiFePO4 12v Batteries. It is bare bones construction only one light for a readout. But in this case, simplicity equals durability. It seems to be extremely well built.
I had panic bought a 280Ah just before the 2024 election. Was planning on using a Harbor freight solar charger to charge it. The Harbor freight controller doesn't with with lithium batteries, so I had to figure something else out. The recommended charger for my battery is 60A, but this 10A is what finances allowed. It charged the giant battery just fine. It just took close to 20 hours.
It's not whisper quiet. It has a fan that sounds like an old computer tower cooling off. I wish it had more information, but at this price point, I'm glad it feels more solid than hi tech. I give it 5 stars because it does the job of talking to the BMS and charges at such an affordable price point.
Just purchased the 14.6v 10A charger because my new Litime 12.8v 100Ah battery was showing only 3.2v, but after a fast reply from Litime service/help department, I performed 10 seconds of charging then I removed the charger and the battery showed 13.35v. I'll be leaving the battery on the carger till it's fully charged.
I prefer the low amp chargers for less heat and overall safety.
Testing was done with a FLUKE 115 TRUE RMS MULTIMETER.
So far everything is great quick shipping arrived fast and on time with no problems got three batteries and three chargers for under 1000 could not beat anywhere else for hundred amp per hour very pleased
Works great!!!!Wish it had %numbers though...
Great purchase! Super fast delivery. Charged both of my new 100 amp-hour batteries perfectly. A must-have piece of equipment for new LifePO4 batteries.
