RE: Your Nitecore D4 and even the D2 charge up LiFePO4 cells just fine.

JKENY,

Are you so sensitive that you feel the need to result to rudeness, disrespect and insults when dealing with such comparatively small and unimportant matters?

Your ORIGINAL instructions were intriguing, to say the least. You even attached a very clear photo showing the + and - solder points for the wires leading in from the 3.3V LiFePo4 battery.

You are correct. This part IS quite simple. But, there was NO discussion of how to properly attain and maintain a Regen safe 3.3 Volts to and from the LiFePo4 batteries.

I inquired, several times, how to attain and maintain 3.3 volts from LiFePo4 chargers that charge these batteries to 3.6 volts. I had assumed that these chargers would charge a 3.3Volt battery at 3.3 Volts. These are just a few of the things that battery novices just do not know. Hell, I had no clue that this extra .3 Volts would be dangerous if used during this Regen modification.


But thanks to slow shipping and the helpful insight of others, we/I did not feed the 3.6 volt charge into the Regens' bypass site.

JKENY, The following quote is from one of your earlier posts pertaining to this topic.

"The batteries are LiFrPo4 (Lithium nano Ferrous Phosphate) which have a voltage of 3.3 (not 3.7V) & have a battery size known as 26650

You don't need a special battery charger-just a regulated supply that outputs 3.3V or 3.4V Permanantly connected to the battery it Trickle charges it & there's no overcharging"

The above (in quotes) was your response to me on November 24. This was prior to all of the upheaval and input concerning LiFePo4 battery chargers actually charging these batteries to a REGEN upgrade unsafe 3.6 Volts.

According to the above attachment, all that I ever needed was to plug my Lambda regulated DC power supply into my 26650 batteries, set the output voltage to 3.3 Volts, then attach two wires from the batteries (continuously attached to the Lambda supply) into the Regens' regulator bypass points.

The Lambda power supply will charge and maintain my LiFePo4 batteries at a safe 3.3 volts into the Regen.

For a battery novice such as myself, these can be confusing issues when you are working from a point of ignorance (not stupidity).

My only goal here was to get this upgrade working and then hopefully rave about it's dramatic sonic upgrade here and else ware. Just maybe not as simple or safe to get done as advertised.
