It is stated that battery can be charged with lead acid charger. I am interested if anyone had experience charging battery using lead ac

I use a charger that is 1.5 amps from Chamberlin, seams to work great. I don't use my battery Tender charger after using this unit. It also does not get hot like the tender and will automatically slow charge and maintain 6v or 12 v batteries.

This might not be a direct answer but I bought a separate charger for this battery because I read about many people complaining how the battery life had gotten shorter as a result of using lead acid chargers.

That is correct. As long as the charger does not have a de sulfurization mode. I have been using shorai batteries for four years on two different motorcycles. I use the battery tender jr brand charger and have had very good success with the combination.

Mine worked perfectly. I just charged it up after a winter of not riding at all. 6hr trickle charge, started right up.

I've had mine for three years now and store my bike in an unheated garage through Michigan winters. I've never needed to charge it, starts my 09 street glide first try every time in the spring! I checked last spring with volt meter and still had 13.4 volts.

You can charge it to full with a normal lead acid battery charger, but do not keep it charging. Unplug it after the charger indicates full. The trickle/maintenance charge feature will damage the battery. But the good new is you probably won't need a charger at all. For the past six months I have only been riding (or cranking and letting it idle) once every two or three weeks and the battery stays charged. But if you can't live without a trickle charger, they offer a charger specialized for this type of battery, that won't cause any damage.

I've topped mine off with one of these without issues: Battery Tender 021-0123 Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery Charger

Haven't connected it to a charger yet, brought it inside all winter and still reading 100 percent charge. I currently have no plans to buy the Shorai charger.
1558201
I read that a Battery Tender (brand) charger is compatible with Shorai batteries and have been using one on 3 different motorcycles that I have Shorai batteries in, and haven't had any problems; the batteries have worked great.

Yes It can be charged with a standard lead acid battery charger as long as the charger does not have an anti sulphation phase in its charging cycle. this is very important.

No. A NI-CAD battery has different Voltage-Current-TEMPERATURE conditions that indicate it is fully charged than a Lead ACID battery does. For Lead ACID you do not need to even monitor the temperature of the battery but it is recommend (for safety reasons) for NI-CAD batteries.

Please do not add this product to a lead acid battery. Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid. When sulfuric acid comes in contact with aluminum as in aluminum sulfate, it produces hydrogen gas which burns and could cause the battery to burst injuring you. If you simply add lead, without creating an electrode, it could also cause a problem. Put your safety first and just buy a new battery.

Where I use this battery it has a build in charger. The one on amazon "Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger UPG D1724" should work fine. It is only $8.29. http://www.amazon.com/Sealed-Battery-Charger-UPG-D1724/dp/B001G8AIMU/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_z

Yes, it is a lead-acid battery just like the one in your car (but smaller). The charging requirements vary from model to model, but are generally a current-limited constant voltage charge. For longest life, charge lead acid batteries as soon as possible after discharging them, and avoid completely draining the cells (below arounf 11 volts for most of them).

No, this type of battery prefers not to be trickle charged. it is a different chemical than the standard lead acid battery therefore trickle charging is not only not necessary, but it may damage this type of battery since it is lithium based. This battery will hold it's charge for at least a full year without trickle charging.

I would not recommend extended use on the AGM batteries. It's OK to use on occasion if you need a quick boost. The charging profile on a lead acid battery and an AGM battery are different and over time this charger could shorten the service time/life of an AGM battery.

No this is a sealed non-acid battery. .. you can charge w regular charger but DON'T OVER CHARGE IT...it states the charge in the paper work.. I left it on my charger a half hour or so n it was just a touch over max charge allowed. ..

No, you only need to charge the battery when you receive it and you need a charger that will charge an age battery. The charger only charges 2volts per cell. Anything over that can damage the cells such as a normal battery charger. Xs power, optima and several other companies make am chargers and those also work for lead/acid batteries...you don't need anything to install it in your car except post or screw terminal adapters depending what your car uses

most battery chargers would charge this sort of battery. to make sure of this, check your charger and see if it will charge an agm battery, if so, your good. secondly, yes you could use a jump box or cables if needed.

No, you provide a 12v battery source. It would probably run for a long time on this battery, and you can get a cheap trickle charger to charge it: UPG UB1280I Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

It is recommended that you use a maintenance-free absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery. Lead-acid batteries can boil over if they're too discharged. Current is pulled, not pushed, so normally you'll be ok. A poor lead-acid battery could boil over from rapid charging.

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.

You do not need to add battery acid. The instructions say it comes at a 70 percent charge. I use a trickle charger that charges at 3A and it arrived at 95 percent charged.

Dealer ships battery with acid separately in same box. Remove battery & acid from box, remove caps on battery and add already premeasured amount of acid, close caps and trickle charge for 24 hours. Relatively painless, just remember you need a trickle charger to charge battery! Hope this helps!

Even the company website doesn't list the amps used. A standard ac/dc adapter should work fine to charge the battery. You can also run it on the charging cord, but it will not charge the battery while doing so

This is a lead-acid battery similar to a car battery. So, it can be recharged. In my case, the battery is used in an electric wheel chair and the chair has a battery charger built in.
