I just purchased 4 HiMASSi 12V 100ah low temp charging batteries to replace the SLA batteries in my Ryobi Zero Turn mower. I think that I have decided on the Made Well NPB-360-48 charger to use with them as it provides a 2 or 3 stage charging profile where I can adjust the output voltage (42-60V) and current (3-6amps). I expect that I will use the mower 1-2 times per week. So a long charging time is not a concern.
I am planning to only charge to ~90% by limiting the voltage to some value less that 57V and only using the 2 stage charging. The spec sheet for the charger suggests charging batteries with an amp-hr capacity between 20-65ah but recommends checking with battery manufacturer...
As I have no experience with Lifepo4 batteries, will charging these 100ah batteries with only 5-6 amps a cause problems with them? reduce their life?
Google and I have not been able to find anything that suggests that it does but I thought I would ask here as there seems to be a lot of experience.
Also, the battery BMS uses a bluetooth app that allows for monitoring the SOC and cell balance.
