In Reply to: How to find Trickle Charger for LiFePO4 batteries (3.3V versions)? posted by chopper87@aol.com on December 3, 2015 at 10:54:38:
LiFePO4 are nominal 3.2v cells that can come hot off the charger at ~3.6v, so keep that in mind.Once any lithium-ion cell reaches its correct CC/CV state of charge (3.6v, 4.2v, or 4.35v,) the charge should be terminated. They're not NiMH, or Ni-Cads that can stand a maintenance (trickle) charge.
It can be unsafe.
If you don't know much about li-ion cells and chargers, you can kind of puruse this forum linked below.
RC forums are another good source, but those guys routinely explode their packs in a hurry to charge them back up, so they're probably not the best guys to follow when charging for a home HiFi component.
