Don't ask.
I'm looking for a 10A charger for a 12V 50AH LiFePO4 battery. I'd like to mount it in the battery box for the equipment (fish finder) it is mounted with. The battery does have an internal BMS.
Small size and not having to select any modes (may be difficult to access buttons or read settings) would be nice. It doesn't need to charge other types of batteries.
Any brand preferences or ones to avoid?

Victron stuff is usually very good. I’d be most concerned with being able to match the charging specs of the battery.

I have 3x 10A and 1x 20amp plugin car charger from Amazon that have a mode for lifepo4. They charge agm batteries great.


But don’t think I have seen one only for lithium other than solar charge controllers.

Victron’s IP67 charger is ideal for that application. Set up via Bluetooth once where you can dial in exact charging voltages and it’ll default to your chosen settings every time thereafter.

Lithium batteries want absolutely no more than 14.2 volts. Standard chargers are not recommended and although it will charge the battery, it will also shorten the life and risk fire. Just get the right thing.
