[QUOTE="mr_b, post: 1134641, member: 21859"] [USER=20216]@LouisF[/USER] Think Eric has pointed you in the right direction. I can't give you specifics around charging times based on a 100ah battery, but what I tell you is that due the chemistry in a LiFe battery, they are able to accept higher amps in charging mode. Higher charging amps = faster charging. Do note though that due to LiFe higher depth of change tolerance, typically 10% vs 50-60% for lead acid, recharge times could be longer if the battery is deeply discharged. Quoting this article: [URL="https://www.takomabattery.com/lifepo4-charging-current/#How%E2%80%99s-the-lifepo4-charging-current-Lifepo4-vs-AGM-vs-lead-acid"]Facts about LiFePo4 charging current and other types of charging currents[/URL] "How long does it take to charge a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery As LiFepO4 batteries take less time to charge, It will probably take five hours to charge a 100 ah lifepo4 battery from 0 to 100% if using a 50amp charger."
