Chargers

[CB-OTB]

Is there a 2 or 3 bank charger that can charge L.A. on one bank and lifepo4 on the 3rd bank?

I don't have an answer but what size batteries are you thinking about charging? Charging from AC or charge from solar?

 

[CB-OTB]

Charging from AC. I would like about 30-40A of charge current.

12, 24, 36, 48volt?

 

[CB-OTB]

doh. Sorry.

120v Input
12v output

I think you might be better off with a single output charger for each of your batteries. Some people charge LiFePo4 with a lead acid charger set to 14.4v. If the pack is a little out of balance, 14.4v will cause one of the cells to go high and trip the BMS. But that is not the end of the world, just not ideal.

That’s what I’m finding. I don’t see any that allows you to set a charge profile per bank. Or if they do, it’s not clear.

The newer Noco Genius chargers will do what you want.

On my system, my inverter/charger is connected to the LiFePO4 bank (which can do 80A charging current). FLA starter battery is charged through a DC:DC charger.
