Recommended Use

Suitable for compatible 12V LiFePO4 battery banks used in RV and camper house-power systems, marine house banks, boats, vans, overland vehicles, backup power systems, solar storage, portable power setups, and off-grid installations.

Charging Applications

The 50A output is suited to larger 12V LiFePO4 battery banks where a higher charging rate is appropriate. Based on the supplied charging estimates, approximate bulk charging time can be estimated by dividing battery capacity by 50A. Actual charging time varies according to starting state of charge, charging-current tapering, battery temperature, BMS limits, wiring, and battery-bank configuration.

• 100Ah Battery: Approximately 2 hours from empty, plus tapering and balancing time.
• 200Ah Battery: Approximately 4 hours from empty, plus tapering and balancing time.
• 300Ah Battery: Approximately 6 hours from empty, plus tapering and balancing time.
• 460Ah Battery: Approximately 9.2 hours from empty, plus tapering and balancing time.

Compatibility Notice

This charger is designed for compatible 12V LiFePO4 battery systems. Verify the battery's charging voltage, maximum charge current, BMS limits, terminal configuration, and manufacturer's charging requirements before use.

BMS Recovery Note

Some deeply discharged LiFePO4 batteries may require a specific BMS wake-up or recovery procedure before normal charging can resume. The supplied product information does not confirm a dedicated 0V BMS wake-up function for this charger. Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions before attempting to recover a battery that displays 0V or has entered BMS protection mode.

Installation and Safety

Connect the ring terminals to the correct battery terminals and verify polarity before connecting the charger to AC power. Use appropriately sized wiring and secure connections for 50A charging current. Although the enclosure is IP67 rated, protect AC connections from direct water exposure and install the charger securely in applications subject to vibration.

This 12V 50A LiFePO4 battery charger provides high-output lithium charging with 120V AC input, up to 95% efficiency, IP67 protection, aluminum alloy thermal management, ring-terminal connections, and multiple built-in electrical safety protections.
