This charger features an 8-step 12.8V 0.8A charging process specifically for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) or LFP batteries with 4 cells in series, ideal for batteries ranging from 2 to 30 Ah. It can simultaneously charge up to 4 batteries, making it a choice for dealers and battery resellers. The charger offers a low voltage rescue function starting at 0.5V and is suitable for indoor/outdoor use with a temperature range down to -20°C. It has a global input voltage (100-240V, 50-60Hz) and is CEC listed for high efficiency. The charger is fully encapsulated in a weatherproof housing with a wall bracket, includes a 180cm power cable and 4 x 180cm charging cables with SAE plugs. It also comes with 4 weatherproof battery leads and 4 standard battery terminal sets. The Optimate Lithium 4S is completely safe for vehicle electronics, with spark suppression and automatic shutdown for disconnected or short-circuited batteries, ensuring no risk of overcharging and safe long-term battery maintenance. Each charging bank operates independently.
The Optimate Lithium 4S is designed for motorcycle and quad enthusiasts, as well as dealers and resellers, needing to charge multiple LiFePO4 batteries simultaneously. Its key benefit is the ability to charge up to four batteries at once, saving time and increasing efficiency. However, note that it is specifically designed for 12.8V LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries, and may not be compatible with other battery types.
