Hi all, I recently purchased a JMT HJTX14AH-FP-SWIQ Lithium Ion battery (advised by supplier).
Straight out of the box, it turned over the bike, but a few days later, nothing.
So I bought a charger (Optimate Lithium LFP 4s 0.8A).
However, the battery states it's a Lithium Ion, 12v. and the charger says for LIFEPO4 12.8v and not for Lithium Ion.
The bike shop said it was one of the right chargers for the battery, but lithium ion cells are 3.7volts each and Lithium Iron Phosphate are 3.2volts.
Should I be concerned? The LIFEPO4 optimate charger will max out at 14.2-14.4v and 4 fully cahrged Li-Ion cells can take 16.8 v.
Anyone used this charger on a LI-Ion battery?
