That was why I bought the cetek charger . Designed for lithium. Does it all for you . Takes out the guess work . Lol
That's fine. I read that you have to have more control when charging a lithium battery. There is so much contradictory information out there that I wouldn't know what is right and what isn't.
Here's Tesla advising that it's best not to fully charge a lithium battery, but to leave it at 80 to 90%. Then there is the salesman that will tell you to fully charge it because it's all about range for you and sales for him. A Tesla charge point will charge a lithium battery to 100%, although rapid charge is to 80% I believe. Is this what your Ctek charger will do, or will it only charge your battery to 80 or 90% to preserve its longevity?

It's a marketing tool to make you think you are getting more than you actually are. But none will tell you whether you can fully charge a lithium battery or not.
I'm not saying this applies to you, Matthew, I'm just airing my concerns with lithium that suppliers don't tell us.
If we believe what Tesla say, and you charge your lithium battery to 90% and don't go below 10% charged, you haven't got 75 amps in your battery to use. You only have 60 to use, which is 10 amps more than I have with my 105amp hour leisure battery.
