This is a dedicated 12V lithium charger, built to charge LiFePO4 battery banks at up to 60A. It plugs into standard 110V AC power and outputs a 14.6V DC charge profile through a 175A Anderson connector. It is not a lead-acid charger, and it should not be used to charge AGM, Gel, or Flooded batteries.
Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
Why Charger Chemistry Matching Matters
Charging lithium batteries requires a charger built for LiFePO4 voltage curves. A lead-acid charger applies the wrong absorption and float profile, which can trigger BMS protection faults or leave cells undercharged over time. This unit is designed specifically for 12V LiFePO4 packs, outputting a 14.6V DC charge — the correct absorption voltage range for a 12V lithium bank.
Battery Characteristics
Chemistry: LiFePO4-specific charger (this is the charger, not the battery). Input is 110V AC, standard household power. Output is fixed at 12V nominal system voltage with a 14.6V DC maximum output voltage, delivered through a 175A Anderson connector for a secure, polarized connection.
Wiring & Configuration Limits
This charger is built for 12V LiFePO4 battery systems. Connect it to a single 12V bank, or to a bank of 12V batteries wired in parallel, using the 175A Anderson connector. Do not connect this charger to batteries wired in series (24V, 36V, or 48V configurations) — the 14.6V DC output is calibrated for a 12V system only, and applying it to a series-wired bank will cause undercharging or damage. Do not use this charger on AGM, Gel, or Flooded lead-acid batteries; the output profile is not compatible with lead-acid charge curves.
Pro-Installer Tip
Charging a 12V lithium bank with the wrong voltage ceiling is a common source of premature cell imbalance. This charger's 14.6V DC output is matched to standard 12V LiFePO4 absorption voltage — do not substitute a lead-acid charger that pushes higher float voltages, since that can push individual cells out of balance over repeated cycles. Confirm your bank's actual voltage during charging with a shunt-based battery monitor rather than relying on charger indicator lights alone. For daily-cycle applications, pair this charging routine with a working DoD limit appropriate to lithium — most LiFePO4 packs are rated for 80-100% DoD, but confirm your specific battery's rated depth of discharge before setting up a routine charge schedule.

NOT compatible with: batteries wired in series (24V/36V/48V systems), AGM/Gel/Flooded lead-acid batteries, or 220V/240V AC input without a separate step-down or compatible supply. Cold-weather charging protection specifications were not included in manufacturer data — see [NEEDS VERIFICATION] below.
FAQ
Can this charger be used on a 24V or 48V battery bank?
No. This charger outputs a fixed 14.6V DC, designed for 12V systems only. Do not connect it to series-wired battery banks.
Can I use this charger on an AGM or Flooded lead-acid battery?
No. This charger is built for LiFePO4 charge profiles. Lead-acid batteries require a different charger with a different voltage curve.
What connector does this charger use?
It uses a 175A Anderson connector on the DC output side.
Does this charger have low-temperature charging protection?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — this detail was not included in the manufacturer data provided.
How many 12V batteries can I charge at once with this unit?
You can connect multiple 12V batteries wired in parallel to this charger via the Anderson connector. Series-wired banks are not supported.
