SLA charger for LiFePO4?
I ask, because these chargers are regularly found on Ebay for only about $20. E-crazyman has them for very good prices.
If you have a BMS circuit installed to your battery, can't you then use a regular charger that would normally be used for just SLA batteries?
It seems logical since your BMS is now doing all the cell balancing and overcharge protection.
Am I wrong here?
