Simple question: Can we use lipo (and/or NiMH) chargers to charge LifePoe4 batteries? I have searched the internet and it seems like this question isn’t directly answered anywhere (that’s easy to find at least) Example batteries AA lifepoe4 14430 lifepo4 example NiMH charger Some details – Ima…

No you can’t charge LFP batteries with Li-ion chargers because the Li-ion chargers will try to charge the LFP cell up to 4.0-4.2v per cell when its best to stay around 3.6v per LFP cell and 4.0v and up will damage them.

That’s what I was thinking I was finding. Ok…so does anyone know of a good single cell barrel battery lifepoe4 battery charger? I haven’t had much success in my hunt for one.

I like the Nitecore D4 for a good “all-purpose” charger. Copy/Paste: Compatible with IMR / Li-ion / LiFePO4: 26650, 22650, 18650, 18490, 18350, 17670, 17500, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 10440 Compatible with Ni-MH / Ni-Cd: AA, AAA, AAAA, C

Thanks Rftop. I ordered that charger, that looks like exactly what I was looking for. I’ll report back on how it works. Appreciate it.
