My old charger is for lead-acid batteries. Can I safely use it with LiFePO4 if the voltage range matches?

I wouldn’t do it. The risk of an overly high float voltage is too big for me.
@Harry Brooks Viele Blei-Lader haben zu lange Absorptionsphasen. LiFePO4 mag das nicht. Besser auf LiFePO4-Lader umsteigen.
@Harry Brooks Ja, es geht oft, solange die Ladespannung passt. Aber die Erhaltungsladung kann für LiFePO4 zu hoch sein.
@Carla_Creates Thanks for the clarification! That makes sense — I’ll definitely keep an eye on the float voltage. Appreciate the helpful insight!
