How to Charge a 12V Lithium Battery using an AGM Battery Charger

Did you know that Lithium can be charged using an AGM battery Charger. Our lithium battery range works with most Deep Cycle Battery Chargers: Atlas Lithium Batteries don't need a special battery charger! ATLAS batteries are manufactured with a built-in high-quality battery management system -BMS that allows for most charger settings 20Amin **except flooded to be used ** A standard Gel or AGM charger is safe and suitable but will only charge the battery to 97%. The nominal charge voltage for an AGM battery is 14.1-14.4V, which means using a lead acid battery charger set to use the AGM setting will work correctly on your lithium battery in most cases. An excellent example of this is the Projecta Por-Charge and IntelliCharge series. These chargers have a maximum charge voltage of 14.4V for AGM and will charge a 12V lithium battery without issue. Lithium batteries are always shipped at or below 30% SoC, so users must charge the battery before the first use.

Cool. I don’t have to buy a new charger. I’ll use my old one. If I don’t get a complete charge I’ll update it. I have 2 lithium batteries for vanlife.

❔ ❔ why did you say "above 15amps" ??
Additionally, at what is the VOLTAGE that the example charges at ?
Thank you - Ted
