-    * one reviewer suggested that "it really doesnt have a proper LiFePO4 charge profile. LiFePO4 cells should be charged purely bulk at a fixed Voltahe and fixed current to 3.65V per cell or 14.6V for a nominal 12.8V battery and then disconnect. This charger in Li setting, only charges to 14.4 and exactly the same as a Lead Acid battery, ie, bulk, then a reduced current absorbtion then a lower voltage float." Response from Kickass "The lithium charge algorithm used in our Flexicharge 32A Smart Charger was custom-designed by our engineering team, specifically for use with our KickAss LiFePO4 batteries and their internal BMS. Our Li setting uses a proper CC-CV (Constant Current – Constant Voltage) profile - it charges at max current until the battery reaches 14.5V, then holds that voltage while current tapers off until the battery is full. While it may appear similar to traditional lead-acid charging at a glance, our Li profile does not include a float stage, which is key for LiFePO4 chemistry. This setup has been extensively tested to ensure it’s safe and effective for our battery range."
