Penuelseun:
If your battery's change settings cannot be edited, you can use the AGM battery option as that setting will also work for lifepo4

Will check

Thanks

Drgreatone:
You dont have anything to worry about. Just put ur battery type to user and then set the bulk and float voltage to what u want

Oh

I’ve not even powered it on

I’ll check for that. Thanks a lot

justasitis:
I won’t advise you to use this to charge your battery If your LiFePo4 battery doesn’t have a smart bms to enable you monitor and manage the charging, as it could damage your battery cells in the long run.

It’s a CWorth battery

And it has its own BMS

AinsSama:
Of course you can. The part of the pics you sent is addressing Lead Acid battery charging and it also clearly shows the 40A (max) AC charging you speak of which is the reason you bought it in the first place so no worries there.

The paragraph says one should only charge lead acid battery.


Thats why I’m confused cause what I have is lithium

I bought this Sako 12v 1kva inverter today.
What influenced my decision is the hope that I’d use its 40a ac charger to charge my lifepo4 battery. I didn’t want a modular setup where I’d buy inverter , controller, and ac charger separately. Would be too messy for me.

Now, I unboxed it, checked the manual, and saw this: (first paragraph of attached pic)

Does it mean I can’t charge a CWorth 100ah 12v lifepo4 battery with it?

Cause that’s the main point of me buying this inverter, and I’m already regretting the purchase.

Sako should have indicated this on the carton and not tuck it away in the manual.

Can I use one battery and add another later?

The old won’t affect the new?

Can this type of battery be revived? I haven’t tested to see if it’s still working cause it must be deeply discharged by now.


It was working before we upgraded but has been left unused since then, 6 months+.

I intend to use it for power about 50w load at a small shop during the day.

Or it’s completely useless and should be thrown away?

tetralogyfallot:
it's really a challenge but I still feel it's cheaper to build than to buy branded batteries, though it may also depnds on where n how u source your materials. Let's use 10Kwh battery as a case study. With your less than 1.5m u can build a very good quality 10kWh lithium pack, where can u get a branded battery for even 1.8m? The price of my good quality capacity tested 3.2Ah LG cells hovers around 1k downward depending on the quantity. So let's do the maths. U need just around 910pcs of cells, thats if u take the cells capacity as 3Ah to achieve 10Kwh which amounts to 910k, don't compromise on good quality bms, use a very good quality smart bms like JK, which price ranges between 150k to 200k depending on the capacity sha, some even come with upto 2A active balancers. Active balancer is a very important component in battery building i wonder why some battery builders ignore balancers, 5A active balancer is around 25k or even less depending on where u get them. The other consumables like nickel strips, voltage display meter, terminals and good casing may not even cost upto 100k. Totaling everything results to something less than 1.3m where u wan see good branded 10kWh lithium battery for that kain amount?

What about the brainwork?

It takes precision and perfect know-how to solder 910 pieces of cylindric cells together without something going wrong.

Actually in the reverse order...battery to controller, controller to charger, charger to power source....na one day person de hear something new.

It’s scary but I may experiment with it

AndroBlaze:
I've used the charger before. Its a smart charger, doesn't go beyond 14.4v.

So I can use it for 100ah 12v lifepo4 without any issues and it won’t trickle charge thinking my battery is lead?

Obnoxious2001:
It can work for lithium ion, but you will need a good BMS.



Aside from that you can reconstruct it to supply 12.6v for lithium ion charging

How do I do that?

My battery is 100ah lifepo4 12v

dollarnaira:
Can work for Lifepo4 and Lead acid.

Trippledots:
No o. Lead acid. I have a feeling you can use it with a pwm controller suitable for LFP to charge sha.

You mean I’ll plug this charger to an ac outlet, connect it to a pwm controller, and then connect the controller output to the battery?

I’ve never heard of that before

Trippledots:
I have this charger. It served for some years until something burnt inside and the voltage doesn't regulate anymore. But it still works, so I use it while manually monitoring the voltage output for emergency cases.

It's the only charger still working out of the few types I got.

What type of battery did you use it to charge?

Lifepo4?

saint2ace:
Go ahead, for the price very few brands can beat it. Just make sure it's for the proposed wattage range. Cheers

Please


Can this charger charge the battery when there’s light

Or can the 20a from an inbuilt sachet inverter work?

I’m getting a Cworth 12v 100ah lifep04 battery on Friday for 190k to power a few 50-150w load during instances when there’s no light.

Is it advisable or is there a ready-made DIY alternative for maybe higher but around the same price.

I’m convinced

I appreciate your input, boss
