I just bought a new LiFePO4 pack made in China. It is 48v and 10 Ah. It came from the seller with a very plain charger that just has a red/green indicator light.
I happen to have some old chargers for 48v Li Mn chemistry batteries. Can I use the old charger for this pack? Can I internally adjust the charger to make it work? Both chargers put out somewhere around 56v for charging. Is the rate of charge controlled by the BMS? I understand that LiMn chemistry has a max voltage of 4.2v while LiFePO4 is 3.6v. How does that apply when charging in series?
I have read about this but it is not straight forward. Please educate me on this complex subject if you are knowledgeable.
