The Rich Solar 12V 10 Amp LiFePO4 Battery Charger (model RS-BC12V10) is an AC charger built only for 12V LiFePO4 batteries. It plugs into 100 to 240V AC at 47 to 63 Hz and delivers 14.4V DC at up to 10A through a three-stage charging process.
It's made for anyone with a 12V LiFePO4 battery who wants a dedicated charger, and the universal AC input works at home or on the road. The case is rated IP65 and weighs 3.86 lb.
Pre-charge comes first: if the battery voltage is too low for full current, the charger feeds it a limited current until the voltage recovers. Constant current follows at 10A until the battery reaches a set voltage. In the constant voltage stage the current tapers off, and when the set point is reached, the charger turns its output off and charging is complete.
A LiFePO4 battery's BMS can switch the battery off when it's deeply discharged. Rich Solar says this charger safely wakes up BMS-protected lithium batteries automatically, using the limited-current pre-charge stage.
One LED on the DC end tells you what's happening. Solid red means charging, solid green means fully charged, flashing green means standby and flashing red means a fault or protection event.
The charger protects against over-temperature, reverse polarity, output short circuit and output over-voltage. If it overheats, it pauses and resumes charging once it cools to normal temperature.
The DC output ends in a 35A Anderson connector, and the included Anderson-to-dual-ring cable has M10 ring terminals for the battery posts. You can leave the ring cable on the battery and simply plug in the charger when it's time to charge.
At home or in the garage. Keep a dedicated charger for your 12V LiFePO4 battery and plug it in between uses.
On the road. Charge from any 100 to 240V AC outlet you have access to while traveling.
Recovering a sleeping battery. Wake a 12V LiFePO4 battery whose BMS has shut it off after a deep discharge.
Many general-purpose chargers are set up for lead-acid batteries. The RS-BC12V10 is made only for 12V LiFePO4 batteries, with a 14.4V output, a pre-charge stage that can wake a BMS-protected battery and an automatic shutoff when charging is complete.
Use this charger only with 12V (12.8V nominal) LiFePO4 batteries, and check your battery's specifications against the charger's before you connect it. If the LED flashes red right after you connect, the manual points to reverse polarity, a short circuit or a battery that isn't a 12.8V lithium battery.
Connect the DC cable to the battery, positive to positive and negative to negative, then the Anderson connector, then plug in AC power. Unplug the Anderson connector or the AC power when charging is done. Place it in a well-ventilated spot away from water, heat, sparks and flammable gas, and don't use it during a thunderstorm. Rich Solar advises against extending the output cable or using other input cables.
No. Rich Solar lists 12V LiFePO4 batteries only, and the manual says to make sure the connected battery is a 12.8V lithium battery.
Yes. At the end of the constant voltage stage, the charger turns its output off, and the LED shows solid green.
The charger is in protection. During charging, it usually means over-temperature, and charging resumes once it cools. Right after connecting, check polarity, look for a short and confirm the battery type.
Rich Solar rates the case IP65 and says it's built for indoor and outdoor use. The manual still asks you to keep it away from water and out of thunderstorms, so a sheltered, ventilated spot is the safer choice.
The Rich Solar 12V 10 Amp LiFePO4 Battery Charger gives a 12V LiFePO4 battery three-stage charging, automatic BMS wake-up and an automatic stop when the battery is full, all in an IP65 case. If you'd like help matching a charger to your battery, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
