![]() ![]() Since the BMS protects the battery, using lead-acid chargers will typically not damage the battery. If this happens, it is generally good practice to replace your charger for one with a LiFePO4 charge profile. The voltage for flooded battery charging algorithms is often higher than LiFePO4 charging requirements, which will result in the BMS disconnecting. AGM and Gel algorithms typically fall within the LiFePO4 voltage requirements. Most lead-acid battery chargers can be used with LiFePO4 batteries as long as they are within the appropriate voltage guidelines. How to charge LiFePO4 batteries with a lead-acid charger Simply plug the LT lithium battery into the LiFePO4 charger and the internal heating and monitoring systems take care of the rest. The heating system does not take power from the battery, but rather from the charger, ensuring the lithium battery is not discharging itself and keeping you powered. The heating system automatically activates once charging below 0☌ is attempted, and it automatically deactivates when it’s no longer needed. The entire process of heating and charging is completely seamless. These batteries have a built-in heating system featuring proprietary technology that draws power from the charger. ![]() Canbat Low Temperature (LT) Lithium Batteries are cold-weather rated, designed for Canada’s cold climates. The charging and discharging temperature for lithium batteries from our LT series is -20☌ to 60☌. Please refer to your specific battery’s datasheet for the BMS low temperature and high-temperature cut-off and reconnect values. ![]() If the BMS disconnects because of high temperature, the battery will need to cool down before the BMS will accept charging the battery. If the BMS disconnects due to low temperature, the battery must warm up for the BMS to reconnect and accept the charging current. All Canbat LiFePO4 batteries come with an internal BMS that protects the battery from low and high temperatures. LiFePO4 batteries do not require temperature compensation for voltage when charging at hot or cold temperatures. LiFePO4 batteries can be safely charged between 0☌ to 45☌ (32☏ to 113☏). ![]()
