LiFePo4 - what components required?
Premise: certainly solar is fine but most of my camping is in the shade or in low solar areas so no solar. And there are more no solar reasons too. Intent is to have a battery bank of 4S-8P CALB...

Look to the radio control aircraft world for charging information on these batteries.
We have been successfully and safely charging the Lithium Polymer batteries for a decade. Early on things were a bit hairy and there were some fires but the industry made some tweaks to the chemistry and we collectively came up with a technique of "balance charging" by monitoring each indivudal cell voltage.
Most modern aircraft chargers support LiFePo4 technology and operate off 12V.
