2.9 Lithium-ion (LiFePO₄ ₄ ₄ ₄ ) batteries
Li-ion batteries do not suffer from sulfation.
But Li-ion batteries are very sensitive to under voltage or over
voltage².
Li-ion batteries therefore often have integrated cell balancing and
under voltage protection (UVP) circuitry.
Some reverse polarity protected chargers will not recognize a
battery when the UVP has tripped.
The Blue Power Charger will however automatically reset the
UVP and start charging.
Important note:
NEVER attempt to charge a Li-ion battery when its
temperature is below 0°C.
