LiFePO4 batteries, also known as Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, exhibit distinct charging characteristics that set them apart from other battery types. They require a charging profile that adheres to a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) method. This approach ensures a steady current until the battery voltage reaches a specific level, at which point it switches to a constant voltage mode to prevent overcharging or damage. Using a normal charger designed for lead-acid or other battery types can lead to overcharging, potentially causing irreversible damage and reducing the battery’s lifespan.
