Hello, I am relatively new to Lifepo4 Batteries. I have a Litime Mini 12v 100ah lifepo4 battery. I know they can be fast charged but should also not be charged above 0.5C rate. The manufacturer manual says recommended charging rate should be either 20Amps(0.2C) or 50Amps(0.5C) but they recommend 20Amps more. My problem with using 20Amps is that it takes 5hours to fully charge the battery at 20amps. That is alot of time that I dont really have. I want to get their 40Amps lifepo4 battery charger which according to my calculations will charge the battery under 2hours 30mins. This is still fair compared to 5hours. But I am also worried about the longevity of the battery life. Will charging at 40amps shorten the life span of the battery? I use and charge the battery atleast 3 to 4 times a week
