Hi Graham,

for a charger recommendation it's very important whether your LiFes have a BMS or not. With BMS you only need a simple AGM charger, without BMS you need a balancing charger.

Hi Graham,

I would choose an automatic charger which stops charging when the final charging voltage is reached. Charging current (maximum) should refer to the battery data.
