Good morning,
I‘ve got a 12 volt battle born. Unknown state of charge. It was on my victron charge controller sitting up at the cabin. I imagine it’s full.
I brought it home for the summer to avoid the 107 F.
I want to use it to power a little 12 volt water pump so I can water my pecan trees up at the place from the pond. About 300’ of hose.
The question is, can I bulk charge the battle born using a dumb 12 volt battery charger? I don’t mind baby sitting it. And I don’t need “full” charge.
I just need to put some energy into the battery so I can go pump 50-100 gallons of water every other weekend.
Or do I need to but [edit-buy[ a new LiFePO4 charger to keep these battle borns healthy.
Carrying water in buckets is getting old!
Many thanks!
