How to charge LFP so it lasts: setpoints, current, and the habits that matter.

How to charge LFP so it lasts: setpoints, current, and the habits that matter.

Charge voltage and current

Charge to 3.45–3.65V per cell and drop to a float well below it. Current matters less than the voltage ceiling.

Habits: partial charge, storage and cycling

80–90% for daily use, 100% before a long run, half charge for storage. Those three habits cover most of the lifespan question.

Questions

Short answers to the ones that come up most.

What voltage should I charge to?

3.45–3.65V per cell — about 14.2V for a 12V pack or 56.8V for a 48V pack.

Can I charge to 100% every day?

You can, but 80–90% for daily use and 100% before a long trip costs nothing and buys cycle life.

How do I store the pack?

About half charge, cool, disconnected. Never leave it flat.
