8A or 10A for 36V LiFePo4 Chargers?

[nerve]

Looking for a good min 8A charger for a 36V lifepo4 battery. Any good sources on hi Amp durable chargers for on the go? I figure 8A or 10A should be a safe bet not to pop a fuse on the road...

what BMS do you use and will it take the 10A of charging current? is this a pouch pack and how big? i have some chargers too.

I'm not sure really...I currently use a VeriBest 36V 4A Smart Charger with an XLR connector.

For on the road, how nice would a 2-5 amp/10 amp charger be. Run 10 amps bypassing the bms, to 90% charged. Then switch to 5 amps for the balancing if you want it.

Don't know any way to do it now, besides carrying a second 2 amps charger. But then, you should be able to leave the balancing charger at home.

BMS battery is one place to get larger chargers. Reliability? Low shipping rates? Uhhhh.......

Can you parallel EM3's 5 amps chargers? Or split your pack to charge each half at 5 amps?

Dogman, you have all the good ideas! My next build will have a split pack.
