I was recently helping out dad replace his dead AGM with a new lithium battery, and I thought it was a great opportunity to have a chat about charging his new battery.
I've come across quite a few people lately that have been burnt by battery suppliers selling them lithium batteries marketed as 'drop in' lead acid (LA) replacements.
So here is 4 reasons you DONT want to charge a lithium battery with a LA battery charger;
0:00 Video intro and a look at the lithium battery install on dads van
03:00 LA battery chargers maintenance modes (equalisation and desulphation) can cause permanent damage to your lithium battery.
05:10 LA chargers on AGM charge profiles can charge as high as 14.6-14.8v. This can trip lithium batteries BMS/BPS with max 14.6v charge voltages. This is not only inefficient, but can damage batteries and may require manual resetting of batteries.
05:29 LA chargers absorption stage can last hours. Its a slow/inefficient way to charge, and lithium batteries may never reach 100% state of charge (SOC). Prolonged terminal voltage of 14.4v-14.6v can also cause permanent cell damage and reduce life of the battery.
06:27 LA chargers start bulk charge stage at 12.7-12.8v. A lithium battery has discharged to around 30% SOC at this voltage. This is inefficient and regular discharging this deep will reduce battery life.
