Would this battery still work with a 12v charge controller that was meant for lead-acid batteries?

I used my Battery Tender brand charger (made for lead-acid types) to charge this battery when I first received it. Based on the indicator lights and the charged battery, it appeared that all worked well together.

As long as it does not have a battery conditioning circuit for lead acid, it should. Battery tender branded chargers will work (as long as they dont have that feature)

I had issues with that. And the battery. Bad cell. Return was quick and painless tho. Amazon got me a new battery in 2 days. The charger I would recommend only using one that specifies lithium. Battery tender was out of stock so I got a battery tender plus charger. You can leave it on the battery for long periods and it's safe with lithium. I hope this helped.

How do I find out what is wrong with this battery? I did not know that you aren't supposed to use the regular battery tenders on these kind of batteries and I left it charging for a couple of days and now it is beyond dead. So if the tender didn't kill it, apparently (also read just now in the questions section) if it drops below 8% charge it is no longer anything but a paperweight? So tell me now if I should just go out and buy a new battery after wasting my money on the 1 ride I got out of this battery.

I've seen this question before and found one particular answer/response very helpful- the charging system of the vehicle you are putting it in used to charge a lead acid battery did it not? I use a solar NOCO trickle charger on mine. NOCO Battery Life BLSOLAR5 5 Watt Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer

yes , no problem, you don`t need a especial charge controller for lithium battery.

In a regular lead acid bsttery you need a deep cycle, this one is lithium and I don't know , check with manufacturer, usually you would kill the battery

Yes, "For all sizes, types and brands of 12 volt lead-acid batteries". Including but not limited to: Flooded (filler cap / maintenance-free/ VRLA / SLA), gel, AGM (Optima/Odyssey/ etc.) Starter, deep cycle and hybrid.

Yes, but you will need a charge controller with this panel. A charge controller is designed to protect the battery by managing the charge rate.

If used for a small 12 volt battery, it will not over charge the battery in any way. It is ideally suited for a small battery.
1123838
Yes, the charge controller will automatically bind to the single 12 volt battery, with appropriate charge from a 24 volt panel.

You could check with the manufacturer, but I believe this was designed for lead acid batteries only.
444846
Yes I believe so even though I don't have a manual handy. This charge controller is for 12 volt panels which usually run around 18 volts.
2236092
Yes it is for any battery that is only rated for 130 amps. It would drain it down too fast

this controller doesn't care if it is 12 or 24 volts,, not very many watts though,, it will take a while to much charge in that battery

If you are asking "can I use this to power a battery charger" the answer depends on what the charger needs for power. There should be a label somewhere on the charger listing volts and amps. If the label lists 12VDC and no more than 1 Amp or 1000 ma then this power supply will work. If you are asking"will this work for my 12V battery charger" the answer is no. You need a power supply rated at 14.5V to charge a 12V lead acid battery.

As long as you wire your 3 12volt batteries in parallel, this panel will work. There are built in bypass diodes. But to avoid back flow charging from the battery, you will need either a charge controller and 5Amp is sufficient for the rated current of charge controller.

Honestly I don't know. I don't do much boating, but if the connectors are similar to that of a car battery then there's nothing stopping it from working. One thing I do know is that if it's a sealed lead acid battery do NOT charge it when the voltage gets near 11vt. It'll ruin the battery. As far as the equipment is concerned, I must admit there was something wrong with the packing and they sent me the wrong stuff. I bought a different charge controller called the 'cyclopse' and it worked fine.

Yes. You connect the battery with the charge controller. This is only for 12Volt battery. If you have 24volts, you will need to replace the charge controller with a MPPT one.

Tom, the controller onlt supports Sealed lead acid (agm), Gel, and Flooded. Many companies state that the Lithiums can be a direct replacement for sealed lead acid, however, some of this batteries require a smart charger that cuts all the current into the battery once it's full rather than floating it. Therefore we cannot guarantee that is going to safely charge the battery.

Yes, You should put a charge controller in line to batteries, rated at the proper amps/watts so you don't overcharge batt.

it should I'm using a similar battery pack as long as its 48 volts I'm not sure how long you'll get out of the lithium batteries but it'll work better than a lead acid battery
