Okay, thanks for the links. I suppose the thing to do is contact the supplier of the battery charger.

Cris does your battery have a BMS in it? the battery charger really has to be for a LifePo4 battery if that is what you have because lithium batteries really do charge at different voltages. As John has seen I have a lot of 36 volt batteries at the boat, and did have access to them very cheaply they are top quality and do have the all important BMS to protect them from cell imbalance and overcharging. By the way I think the project is a great idea

By the way I think the project is a great idea I havent bought the battery yet,but yes it does have bms. Its all dependant on finding a charger, which im struggling to do at the moment.

If it does what it says on the tin then all well and good. Coming from China by air, by the look of the post charge? I ordered a USB battery pack and bottle dynamo for the bike, that came the slow way, but it never arrived. They were quick to give a full refund though. All of the other the stuff I've bought from China has arrived, though it sometimes takes a few weeks.

Looks Ok on paper. I would just sound a note of caution about the cost - since it is a fairly expensive item itβs unlikely to avoid duty (if applicable) and VAT charges. Last time I had something shipped from China via DHL, I was really pissed of because despite paying around $25 for the shipping, when it arrived in the country not only did I have to pay VAT (fair enough) but DHL demanded about the same as the original shipping again, by way of a customs clearance fee. A total ripoff, but I had to pay it as they had my thing and wouldnβt give it to me unless I paid up. It was just to cover the cost of them waving the paperwork at the customs chaps. Seemed a complete con / extortion and Never again will I use DHL!
