What to Compare Before Buying
- Battery type: This charger is for LiFePO4 batteries. Check that your battery is the right chemistry before buying.
- Charging voltage: The charger outputs 14.6V, so compare that with the charging requirement for your battery.
- Charging current: It is rated up to 10A. Make sure that matches the battery and charging setup you want to use.
- Connector style: The output uses a removable crocodile clip connector, so check that this connection method suits your setup.
- Compatibility: It is stated for 4S LiFePO4 battery devices and batteries with a BMS system, so confirm the exact battery specification.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The key fit and compatibility checks here are the battery chemistry, the 14.6V charging output, and whether the battery is a 4S LiFePO4 setup with a BMS system. The charger also needs a battery voltage of at least 6V to work.
If you are comparing this against another charger, check the output connector, the charging current and the physical size of 135 x 90 x 50 mm, especially if you have limited space where it will be kept.
Before You Decide
Confirm that your battery is LiFePO4, that the 14.6V output matches the battery’s charging requirement, and that the crocodile clip connector suits your setup. Also check the 4S LiFePO4 and BMS requirement, along with the stated 6V minimum battery voltage.
