Victron 120v Charger question.

Can this charger be used to charge my LifePo4 battery? It has the three stages of charging but says Li-ion settings.
I would like to get a charger for my house bank to use while on shore power or if I need to run my deck generator. Something around 30a of charging would suit my needs.

Thanks.

Yes, it should work fine with your LiFePO4 batteries.

That is victron’s entry level charger. Works great but max’s out at 30a. Perfect for you since you were only looking for 30 amps.

I only need to charge 1 bank of 2 100ah batteries. As long as it can charge me up on an overnight on the dock it will be a good fit. We are still just weekend warriors.

Currently our house bank (1 100ah) battery is charged when at the dock with a 20 amp charger charging the start bank battery feeding the 18a dc-dc charger to top us up. I turn off the dc-dc charger when not running the engine when at anchor or a dock without shorepower.

That's the one I have on Puffin and use in your exact scenario. Works great.

I think you will find that charger will work great. With the bluetooth you can closely monitor it. Not very expensive to buy ($220??) and very simple install.

I have grown to like Bluetooth capabilities, I have it for my battery and dc-dc charger. I think this charger PKYS has it for $183 for single bank.

Fantastic charger. I have one along side my Multiplus2 as a supplemental and back up charger. It is a perfect small charger for LFP. I have 2 in my shop as well for testing.
