Lithium Confusion
I currently store my coach in my garage plugged into 30 amp service. My new coach came with lead acid batteries. The coach has a progressive dynamics PD 4060 charger in a mighty mini power center. ...

It stays closer to 14.6V, here's a closeup of the end charge. It has gone up to 14.7 once when the cells were taking the first charge. I think it takes a few charge/discharge cycles before the cells settle in to whatever balance they're going to be at as it hasn't happened since. Charger was disconnected by the Victron Battery monitor, battery voltage settled down to 13.5V and the charger was reconnected. The charger was in maintenance mode so no further charging occurred when it connected.
Some things I had to wrap my head around:
- Remember that 4.2V used to be the recommended charge voltage for LiFePo4 so I'm not concerned it I go over 3.65V by a few millivolts. It will only be up there for a few minutes.
- Look at the charge being delivered at 14.6V, it's only a couple of amps.
