Using a lead acid charger on a Lithium pack

It's best to charge lithium cells to 4.0V-4.1V, but its widely accepted that 4.2V per cell is the max.
4.2V x 13S = 54.6V as the absolute max voltage that pack should be charged to.
4.2V x 13S = 54.6V as the absolute max voltage that pack should be charged to.
Maybe, maybe not. The BMS shouldn't be relied upon to control the charging end point. It is there as a safety backup if the charger fails. If the BMS doesn't cut off at 4.2v on a cell, you run the risk of pack fire.TheSiege said:
Many chargers have a voltage adjustment setting. If you can find one and drop the max voltage to 54.6v, then it should work OK as a charger.

When reach Max charge voltage need it for the pack unplug it from the charger don't leave it on the charger any longer than necessary and then go buy yourself a decent charger.
