How to Charge Different Types of Batteries with a
When you handle charging with a power supply, you must set voltage and current precisely for each battery chemistry. The table below
Charging with a power supply requires you to set both voltage and current limits for each cell. For most lithium-ion chemistries, such as NMC Lithium battery, LCO Lithium battery, and LMO Lithium battery, you set the full charge voltage at 4.20V per cell. For LiFePO4 Lithium battery, you set the voltage at 3.65V per cell.
Charging with a power supply gives you flexibility when working with lead-acid batteries. You must calculate the charge voltage based on the number of cells. For a typical 12V battery (6 cells), set the voltage to 14.40V (2.40V per cell). Select a charge current between 10% and 30% of the battery's rated capacity.
Regulatory Compliance: Choose a cabinet that meets safety standards for Class 9 Dangerous Goods. Durability: Look for a heavy-duty lithium battery storage case designed for long-term use. Ventilation Needs: If charging is required, ensure the cabinet includes an integrated cooling system.
Justrite's Lithium-Ion Battery Charging Cabinet is engineered to charge and store lithium batteries safely, mitigating common risks during charging.
