Hello friends, I'm about to build a 48v 16s5p LiFePO4 battery but I don't have a charger specifically designed for this chemistry. Would it be safe to use this charger designed for 14s Li-ion cells?: https://lunacycle.com/luna-charger-52v-advanced-300w-ebike-charger/
It can charge Li-ion batteries to 90% of 58.8v which is the setting I intend to use it at, but if the charge voltage of the charger is a constant 58.8v and the charge voltage of the 48v battery is 58.4v, will there be a problem? Can I charge to 100% and just rely on the BMS to cut off charging at 58.4v? Will my 48v Daly smart BMS even accept the voltage, or are there some settings I could change? It seems like a 0.4v difference wouldn't be that bad but I want to be certain that I'm not harming the cells/BMS.
I couldn't get a clear answer about the charging voltage of the charger so I'm not even sure if it's a constant 58.8v until I connect the battery to it. Without a load it outputs 58.4v, which seems perfect. Do Li-ion chargers usually work this way?
Thanks for the help
