RE: How to find Trickle Charger for LiFePO4 batteries (3.3V versions)?

After all the accusations about my commercial interests & whether I should be posting about this, I'm loathe to continue posting but I feel it necessary to prevent people making mistakes & then blaming me or indeed misrepresenting what I posted.

But you did you not notice the rest of the sentence that I posted?
"i.e they are behaving as a regulated voltage source except they are outputting 3.6V."

This means that when you take the battery off the charger it will have 3.6V voltage output when it's first connected. This voltage output when connected only lasts for seconds & it quickly drops to 3.4V & then a steady 3.2V for the rest of its discharge.

So, I don't recommend using a battery charger due to this above spec voltage output & its change during it's initial stage of connection

As I have always said - use a 3.3V regulated supply to permanently trickle charge the battery & then you have no faffing around with swapping batteries & worrying about when a battery gets into low discharge.

If you let the battery drain below 2.7V & continue to draw current from it (by leaving it connected to the Regen) you will damage the battery.

As I said already, all this is being made unnecessarily complicated for what is a simple idea - connect a LiFePO4 battery & trickle charge it continuously!!

Please understand, I've been doing this for years & know what I'm talking about.
