Lithium Battery Question
I am thinking about converting my 2020 lance to Lithium batteries. I want to do it as inexpensively as possible. (Battle Born ain't gonna happen) Can anyone tell me what specifications I should look f...

So I decided to let things run their natural course, so I switched on the PD 9245 and just let it do its thing and see what would happen at the SOC meter...Though not Li specific, the PD seemed to work out fairly well bringing the 200a/h LiFePO4 up to and holding at 14.2v, (steady light at charge wizard) with zero amperage going into the battery for a period of time, and LinkLite meter at 100% SOC (though followed by a fresh resynchronization), then with the PD dropping back to 13.6v (rapid blinking at charge wizard).
My conclusions are:
1) Though (in the interest of prolonging battery longevity) it may not be necessary to fully charge the battery (nor desirable to fully discharge), it seems somewhat unavoidable if the BMS is to be allowed an opportunity to achieve cell balancing...
2) Though the PD 9245 is not the latest wiz-bang LiFePO4 charger, the fact that it drops back to a13.6v float (float is not required nor harmful for Lithium) seems a far better option than PD’s latest Li offering which remains ON at 14.6v into perpetuity...
Just a few early conclusions....
