Redodo 12V(14.6V) 40A Handle Lithium Battery Charger

To fully charge a 12V LiFePO4 battery, a charger with a voltage between 14V and 14.6V is required. Using a charger with a lower voltage can still charge the battery, but it will not achieve full 100% capacity.

Trickle charging is unsuitable for lithium batteries. Using a trickle charger not specifically designed for LiFePO4 batteries can result in overcharging or damage because lithium batteries have different charging requirements compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.

Yes, you can. However, charging a battery to less than 100% and avoiding full discharge will extend the lifespan of the cells. Similarly, operating within a 20%-80% state of charge (SoC) range helps prolong the life of lithium batteries. For Redodo deep cycle lithium batteries, they can endure over 4,000 deep cycles at 100% Depth of Discharge (DoD), more than 6,000 cycles at 80% DoD, and over 15,000 cycles at 60% DoD.

Leaving a lithium-ion battery on the charger overnight is generally safe if you use a charger, such as those from Redodo, which is designed to stop charging once the battery reaches full capacity. Most modern lithium-ion chargers include this feature to prevent overcharging.

It is essential to ensure your charger supplies the correct current and voltage for the LiFePO4 lithium battery you're charging. For example, using a 24V charger on a 12V LiFePO4 battery is not recommended. Additionally, always use a charger specifically designed for your battery’s chemistry. If you use a standard lead-acid charger for a LiFePO4 lithium battery, ensure it does not have features like desulfation or dead battery mode, as these could damage the LiFePO4 battery.
