Hi folks.
I'm trying to get a charger for my pack of 36 Thundersky 60Ah LiFePO4 batteries in 36s1p. I found a (King?) charger being sold by BMSBattery.com (which is ecitypower.com, also on ebay as ecitypower). It's 1500W, so it'll do 120V nominal at 10A, and they say that they can specify the proper output voltage for my pack. It is a CCCV charger.
At those voltages, it is about 10A. Someone mentioned to me that 10A isn't "big enough" to charge my pack and that i should go with the 2000W version from them, which would be closer to 15-16A.
I always thought the lower amp rating for a particular voltage meant a longer charge time...not that it wouldn't work. Am i wrong about this?
I'd like to stick with the 1500W charger since the 2000W is more expensive, and the added size/weight makes it less desirable for putting in an electric motorcycle (which is what my project is).
Any tips would be helpful...
Note, i will be using a Fechter/Goodrum BMS, so i'm not worried about it "only" having a simple CCCV curve.
Thanks a bunch!
