LiFeP04 chargers
I'm trying to understand all I can before going lithium. I've got most of the issues resolved in my head, but I'm struggling a little about the charging and how it relates to house loads.
My experience with lithiums is that you charge them constant current until they reach the desired voltage (say 3.6vpc) then the charger cuts off.
How does that work in an RV? If plugged in, I don't want to be floating the lithium batteries, but I need 12v available from the charger/converter at the distribution panel for on-demand usage (water pump, lights, etc).
Do you know how Progressive Dynamics or Boondocker handle this with their Li chargers?
