LiFePo4 batteries

[Mike-tf3n0]

I am reading that these batteries need a special charger, using an ordinary charger risks damaging the battery. Anybody else got one and how do you charge yours?

Just with a charger designed for a lithium battery of course. I use a Nico charger and works fine.

If you have a meter, you can do it with a stock charger, but best not try with a "stock" smart charger really, they have modes that can fk up a Lipo. . Just make sure it doesn't wack in more than 14.9V!
