Question 1

Can charher lithium battery

Accepted Answer

Yes, this device has a LiFePO4 setting.

Question 2

I'm looking at the 24v/12a version.  Does it plug into a standard 120vac outlet?

Accepted Answer

All models that we sell are the US NEMA 5-15 120vAC models in spite of the photos showing the Euro 230 plug; high-quality photos of the 120v models aren't always available from the manufacturer, thus the discrepancy in the listing photos.

Question 3

Is his a  12/24 volt battery charger ? Either one?

Accepted Answer

There are 12 volt versions and 24 volt versions, but no single charger will do both voltages.

Question 4

will the 24v device handle Li-ion (3.7v/cell) chemistry, 8s, which results in 29.6v nominal, but 33.6v full charge state?

Accepted Answer

I believe it should work fine, the maximum setting is 35volts. You would need to use the Victron connect app to set up a custom profile. Explanation below.

I couldn’t find a maximum voltage in the manual so I tried by creating a custom charge profile using the VictronConnect app > turned on  “advanced settings” and then adjusted the voltage until it wouldn’t go any higher. My 24volt 12amp charger maxed out at 35 volts for each stage that I could set (absorption, float, and storage). You would want to identify what voltages would work best for that specific battery and set it to match (I wouldn’t expect to want to set all three stages the same). I could not find a way to disable the float or storage, disabling the storage stage would probably be best if possible, but the data sheets for most of the LI batteries I have looked at will indicate the voltage level that the cells “like” to “rest” at and I would think most battery manufacturers would recommend setting the storage voltage to that level (below the float voltage).

I don’t have a battery that I can run a test charge cycle on at that higher voltage, but based on how true the charger has been to my other custom profiles I wouldn’t anticipate any issues. Each time I have created a new profile I have checked each stage with a multimeter to verify that it’s doing what I want before using the new setting long term, I have been happy with it and have not had any issues.
