Can this charge Lithium Ion batteries? I have a 12V 50AH Lithium battery. Can I hook this up directly to the battery just like a sealed lead acid batt

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.

Not expert on battery but NiMH and Li-ion are very different type of battery. The Guide 10 Plus charger can only charge NiMH. You need to attach a different charger to use with the Solar charger for Li-ion. I would recommend you against getting this product simply because it's not useful at all.

No. For starters a "normal" battery charger (if you are talking about what you'd plug AA's into) is designed for batteries that get to around 1.5 V or so, way less than what this one is rated for. And of course it won't connect without a bunch of custom splicing and screwing around. And they are a totally different kind of battery as well. If you're going to own something that requires this kind of battery, you need to also own the proper way to charge it.

Hi Gary, Yes. The charger has four leads and can charge 2 12V. Batteries at once. It's working great for me.

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

I know there is a position on the tester for 1.5 V AA Lithium Batts, but sorry I can't answer your question, because I don't have any this type of Lithium batts, so I've not had the opportunity tested this position on the tester.Maybe someone else has and will respond to your question.Good luck, RL Shuey

Well yea, use a battery charger , or a deep cycle charger with a max of 35 amp .Most deep cycle batteries use a slow charge rate anyway which is a lower amp charger.Just keep the amp below 30 to 35 amp @ 12 volt. This is not a 24 or more system charger.

The answer is Yes and No. Any 12 volt charger will charge it, but must have the right size "Spade Lug" connectors to mate with the battery terminals. Or have an "adaptor cable" to convert the typical 12 volt charger cable connector to the battery lugs. Be careful to use a low current charger adaptor, not a car battery charger.

It will charge a lipo 2700mAh 11.1V battery. Right now I'm using it to charge the same batter but 2100 mAh. You can set it for the mAh you need. You can charge all kind of batteries with it. And with all of the adapters you can connect to any battery. I do the balanced charge. What I like is that it gives me a readout while it's charging so I can see where it's at. When it's done charging it beeps and stops charging and also displays that it's done. One thing you will need to do is to get the power cord for it. Amazon carries those. I'm very happy with this charger.

Absolutely not. You cannot possibly "push" current into a lithium-based battery. As long as you do not exceed the voltage (which is USB standard), all you care about is having enough current capability - no worry about too much.

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

no, you have to charge the battery via electricity, this takes about an hour. Then put the battery into the drill you are set to go. Excellent drill and with the li-ion battery you never have to worry about battery forgiveness, i.e. run the battery 5 minutes and recharge right away if you need to, your battery will forgive you.

It charge for 12V Lead-acid batteries.Maximum charge voltage about 14.8V.Maximum charge current is 25A.( Charge current is limited by the voltage(14.8V) and 25A.)

I commonly charge two 36v lead batteries at the same time using separate electrical outlets. I don't know anything about charging lithium batteries.

Hi! I did not try, but its capacity is 6000 mAh, so it should fully charge <= 6000 mAh battery notebook. My notebook has 5200, for example.

I suppose you could but when charging Lipo batteries I wouldn't do that. Charging Lipo batteries safety is always a concern, unless you plan on being there during the entire charging process I wouldn't charge the batteries this way.

I'm not an expert but I'm 90% sure a you need a special charger for Lithium batteries. Remember what happened to that Boen jet. :)
