Is this safe for Lifepo batteries???????

[SherylinRM]

I will [hopefully] be getting my 280Ah lifepo batteries this week.
However the special charger and BMS won't come for a while yet.

Is it safe to use my 8Amp 24 volt Gel lead acid charger on my Lifepo batteries until the proper charger and BMS comes?

Yes I know it will be 35 hours if I have to charge it from a full discharge.
However I will not be charging them fully, nor discharging them fully either.

Just that I need to use my mobility scooter and the lead acid batteries in them now are not going very far as it gets colder.

Thanks

Yes, it should be OK to charge your new LiFePO₄battery with your existing charger as long as the charger does not get too hot and you don't allow the charging voltage to exceed 28.6~29.2V.

I thought as much.
Was just wondering if there were any hidden "gotchas" mostly.
Ok thanks again Alan
