The manual does not go to fundamentals on this point. It only says ”Use a special charger for lithium battery” and ”Check that the charging voltage corresponds to the battery requirements.” No deeper info what suitable voltage would be. It is needed to do some research to figure out that there is a match. It was clear to me that 14.4 V was the max voltage from the charger (and only for a limited time) and that this would be fully ok for the battery. In addition to this good fundamental match there is the BMS that would protect from too high charge voltage. Good basic conditions and the BMS made me confident that it should work well, but I monitored the charging process if there would occur some problem I had not foreseen.
I guess that as long as the charger keeps the voltage regulated at what is acceptable for the battery then all should be well. I see you use a modern automatic smart lead-acid charger. Not to use an 'old fashioned' unregulated lead-acid charger though as their off-load voltage could be as high as 18 volts- and that would make the experiment TOO interesting. ;)
Hi! Nice with a comment! Yes, it is true. This charger will not go higher than 14,4 Volt. In addition to that the battery management system protects from overcharge / too high voltage and also over discharge / too low voltage. I provoked the battery and triggered the last one in my discharge test that I will share.
From what I have heard and read, the Float Voltage should NOT be any higher than 13.35 Volts and maybe even 13.33 ( which is the overnight Resting Voltage of a Fully Charged Lifepo4 Battery
If you paid for the battery thumbs up because there was a high degree of probability the battery would have been damaged.
Yes, I purchased the battery. Do you have bad experience of this specific battery or this type of battery?
Surprised you were able to charge that low quality battery.
What did the manual or documentation suggest to use as a charging source. Or the charging specification

Yay eco worthy batteries is a battery can charge 14.6 .. full charge . Gets unbalanced.. used it often .. why is that ..
