5.1 CHARGE
It is recommended to use LiFePo4 lithium battery chargers. However, you can use a mains
battery charger for AGM/GEL batteries, checking that the maximum voltage supplied by it
does not exceed 14.5V. The charger must NOT perform any desulfation action. The use of
battery chargers for flooded lead acid batteries , although they can completely charge 3lion
batteries, they can reduce their life. If you have a configurable charger, set the CC/CV
(constant current/constant voltage) option, by setting the current value equal to or less than
0.5C, or 50A for the 3L-100, 3L-100B, 3L-100-P models, and 75A for the 3L-150-P model,
and the end--of-charge voltage value to 14.4V.
When the battery is fully charged (the display shows 100%), it is recommended that you
disconnect or turn off the charger. In the case of alternator charge, this is automatically
managed by the 3Link. In fact, 3lion batteries do not need maintenance like lead-acid
batteries.
