  • Post in thread: Wanted: A step by step guide for reviving over-discharged LifePo4 batteries.

    I have an over-discharged 12V battery that won't charge above 10.2V using its included charger. Its a sealed battery so I don't have access to individual cells. I have read some posts about potentially using a bench power supply to revive an over-discharged battery but nothing comprehensive and...

    9.57V was the voltage across the terminals after I switched off the load. While the load was still connected, it read 9.13V. The battery's own voltage indicator is incorrect as well. It was showing 8.9V across the terminals when the multimeter was showing 9.57V. Overall, I don't trust this...

  • Post in thread: Plug-n-play 12V LifePo4 AC to DC charger

    I've been searching for a reasonably priced charger for my 100Ah Lifepo4 battery. I would love to find one that is 20+Amps but I can make do with a 10A charger. Any suggestions? I live in Canada.

    When I try to charge the battery using the charger that came with it, it doesn't charge beyond 10.2 V. Is there any way to revive the battery?

    I was concerned about that but the seller confirmed 1C in the questions section. I would have liked to build it on my own but after a week of research, I couldn't find a recommended source of parts for a 40-60AH battery and charger that ships to Canada. If you can provide some links, that would...

    The manufacturer claims the battery has a BMS with "over-charge and over-discharge protection". I connected a 15A load when the battery was at 13.3V. I expected it to turn off automatically at around no-load 10V. It kept discharging until I removed the load and checked the no-load voltage at...

    Yep. measured everything with my trusty multimeter.
  • Post in thread: Wanted: A step by step guide for reviving over-discharged LifePo4 batteries.

    I tried the suggestion from snoobler. It didn't work unfortunately. The BMS seems to cut off the power supply at 10.2V. Any suggestions on how to get the BMS to stop doing that? Anything further I can try before opening up the battery and replacing the BMS or charging individual cells?

    I'm interpreting this to mean that you can get 1C from the terminals but only 20A from the charging port. Lets hope that's the correct interpretation.

    Its the first result on amazon.ca when you search for lifepo4 battery: https://www.amazon.ca/phosphate-Rechargeable-Charging-Discharging-Performance/dp/B08G8HXNJK/ I've ordered one to use with a trolling motor. I hope it's safe to use.

    I also read that some chargers have a battery "save" function that can revive over-discharged batteries. Has anyone tried something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/OptiMATE-Lithium-TM-271-10-step-charger-tester-maintainer/dp/B01EV1CTDY

    Manufacturer also thought the BMS was locked up/malfunctioning. But didn't have any suggestions for how to fix it.

    Is it charging back up for you after cutoff at 9.5? Mine has stopped charging beyond 10.2V. If you open it up, please post some videos/pictures here.
