Charge Lithium Batteries correctly (LiFePO4)

I've been wanting to make this video for a very long time but I knew it would be a difficult one to film. We have all been told to basically charge LiFePO4 batteries like Lead. The charge controller companies might add a Li feature so you think you need to buy their newest gear but look under the covers and you will find their Li charge cycle is just a lead cycle with the absorption time set to 0. It's just go faster stripes.

Sure charging this way will put power in the batteries but at the cost of shortening their life.

In this video I'm taking my best shot at describing how Li really wants to be charged. This is based on my research reading all papers and findings I could find from the actual scientists who work with these batteries and especially the guys who test these batteries for cycle life. They do not charge their batteries like lead.

Charging to a voltage damages Li period.

If you want a start on your own research project into this I suggest you read Conrad's article linked to the bottom of the BankManager's webpage below.
