LIFePO4 batteries - interesting challenges
In another thread I detailed what I was doing to upgrade batteries to LIFePO4. Thought I'd raise a new thread for some challenges I'm facing in case someone searches on it in the future. I have 4 1...

if your using battleborn its pretty easy, 13.6 float, bulk 14.4 equalization off or 14.4 as well.
looks like they are design to work with normal chargers, since they have a bms in front of the charger, and reading u can go to 0 on DOC so it doesn't matter
your settings are off.
i would change float to 13.6 equal/absorb to 14.4, float exit to 13.5
not sure i understand absorb time.
you should be asking your battery mfgr for their numbers, not the charger mfgr.
to be honest, unless you can control the BMS, you can't control their charge state, im pretty sure the bms decides the final output of the cell voltage regardless of the input voltage from the charger. i assume the only reason they give you different voltages is for float and bulk is simply so the charger puts out more amps in bulk mode. i highly doubt the cell final voltage changes regardless of the input voltage. you would need to change the bms charge setting to do the 80/20 split if that's your goal, thats something u need to ask the Battery mfgr.
