can i charge a LiFePO4 battery with this charger
761634
Hello, we do not have any information on the LiFeP04 battery, but the 24v 2amp charger we sell is designed to charge a LEAD ACID type battery. They do not charge Lithium Ion batteries as those batteries need specially designed charge circuits for each designed battery. The charger we offer, does detect a fully charged LEAD ACID battery and turn off its charging cycle until the battery drops below a certain voltage and thus it switches back to charge mode.Hopefully this has helped, thank you for your interest in our products. digitalpowerproducts.com

You cannot charge a LiFePO4 battery with this charger. Only for lead acid batteries

I am only using a lipo charger so I'm not sure a regular charger will work for you

There is now way to do a "storage charge" with this charger.I think you are thinking about NI-CAD batteries, this charger is intended primarily for LI-PO batteries.

It will charge a lipo 2700mAh 11.1V battery. Right now I'm using it to charge the same batter but 2100 mAh. You can set it for the mAh you need. You can charge all kind of batteries with it. And with all of the adapters you can connect to any battery. I do the balanced charge. What I like is that it gives me a readout while it's charging so I can see where it's at. When it's done charging it beeps and stops charging and also displays that it's done. One thing you will need to do is to get the power cord for it. Amazon carries those. I'm very happy with this charger.

Yes. The provided charger will charge 4 AAA batteries at once -or- 4 AA batteries at once -or- 2 AA & 2 AAA at once. There is a recessed area that fits the AAA batteries at an angle. I wish the description was this detailed!

this charger is for lipo and life batteries. you NEVER charge either type of those using a tamiya or bananna plug it'll fry the battery this charger ises "multi-prong plugs"

I would only use this charger for the size of lithium ion rechargeable batteries that it was intended to be used with. Better to be safe than sorry. Could possibly damage batteries or charger.

Yes, it can charge all LiIo, LiPo& LiFe lithium cells up to 18v. Some are easier with the extra plug-in adaptor, but it can if you can find the B+ & B- battery terminals.

This charger is only for Shorai battieries. It comes only with a Shorai connector. For other batteries you can read about the Battery Tender Green Lithium Junior 002-0198LI

Yes, you can. The problem is if you're asking the question, you shouldn't. I have contacted Shorai technical and they actually recommended to me a programmable Li battery charger the R/C folks use once they knew I knew what I was talking about. I, of course, believe my charger is better and have programmed it. THe hard part is determining the balance connector they use, which is NOT proprietary. I use a Cellpro from Revolectrix. I will look up the connector when I get home. The Shorai connectors change the wire harness from 5 wire to 7 wire for some unknown reason. Other than, perhaps, to force people into using their charger.

Yes, and they work better too. However, you cannot use your old charger with them and must buy the lime green one to use with the new lithium batteries. The new charger can be used to charge the old yellow and black batteries.

No - you need to buy a charger that's compatible with the new batteries. The clue is in the color ! The old chargers will not charge the Li-ion batteries properly and in fact risk overcharging them and burning them out. The new chargers are infinitely better (with an overcharging protection circuit), and actually have revived my old Ni-Cd batteries when their original chargers wouldn't charge them anymore. I have a P-117 that I bought on eBay and have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

The manufacturer does not list LiFe as a compatible chemistry with this charger so I do not think those batteries could safely be charged with this charger. Also LiFe batteries should be balanced charged anyway.

Will work but I would recommend getting either a fast charger ($44.97), a second battery or both. If you get a second battery get the 4.0 ah version at $69.14 (LB2X4020-20-OPE 4.0 Ah) as it has about 4x the run time of the standard 20 volt Lithium battery commonly supplied. PS amazon sells a set that includes both. Love this tool.

No. The charger directions specifically say it's for use with rechargeable batteries only. You should not try to charge "regular" batteries in the charger meant for rechargeable batteries.

Yes this battery needs a LiPo type charger like the one sold here BASTENS easy to use fast LiPo battery balance charger 4Amp 1 2 3 4 cell batteries connectors included for 3DR Iris+ Aero Parrot AR Drone DJI Phantom XT60 Traxxas Losi EC3 Deans mini & standard Tamiya
