Lithium Battery Chargers
Why Choose Lithium Battery Chargers from Black Oak?
Black Oak’s Lithium Battery Chargers are engineered to deliver the correct voltage, current, and charging profile necessary for LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries. Unlike standard chargers, our lithium chargers ensure safe, fast, and efficient charging by preventing overcharging, overheating, and undercharging, which can degrade battery performance over time. Whether you’re powering RV systems, golf carts, trolling motors, or off-grid storage setups, Black Oak’s chargers are built to optimize battery lifespan and performance.
Our chargers integrate smart technology that communicates with the battery’s BMS (Battery Management System) to monitor voltage, charging levels, and cell balancing in real time. Designed to be compact and durable, these chargers are ideal for both everyday use and long-term storage scenarios.

FAQ: Lithium Battery Chargers
Can you overcharge a 12V lithium battery?
While lithium batteries are resistant to overcharging, it is still possible if an incorrect charger is used. However, Black Oak’s lithium chargers and batteries feature BMS protection, which automatically stops charging when the battery reaches full capacity. This ensures safe operation and prevents overcharging.
Can I use a trickle charger on a lithium battery?
It is not recommended to use a traditional trickle charger on lithium batteries. Trickle chargers designed for lead-acid batteries apply a constant low current, which can damage lithium cells. Instead, use a lithium-specific charger that adjusts current and voltage appropriately.
Can I jump start a lithium battery?
Jump-starting a dead lithium battery is generally not recommended as it can damage the cells. If a lithium battery’s voltage drops too low, the BMS may enter protective mode to prevent further discharge. In such cases, it’s better to use a lithium-compatible charger to recover the battery safely.
What happens if you use the wrong charger for a lithium battery?
Using the wrong charger can result in overcharging, undercharging, or overheating, potentially damaging the battery’s cells and triggering the BMS to shut it down. To avoid these risks, always use chargers designed for lithium batteries that match the voltage and current requirements of your battery.
Why do lithium batteries need a special charger?
Lithium batteries require precise voltage and current control to charge efficiently and safely. A lithium-specific charger follows a multi-stage charging profile that manages the battery’s charging needs at different levels, ensuring cell balancing and longer lifespan. Traditional lead-acid chargers lack this precision and can damage lithium cells over time.
How long does a 24V lithium battery take to charge?
The charging time for a 24V lithium battery depends on the charger’s amperage and the battery’s capacity. On average, using a 10-amp charger, a 24V lithium battery can take 3 to 5 hours to charge fully. Fast chargers can reduce this time significantly, but always ensure the charger is compatible with the battery’s BMS.
Can you charge a dead lithium battery?
Yes, but if a lithium battery’s voltage drops too low, the BMS may prevent it from charging. In such cases, some chargers offer a “wake-up” or recovery mode that sends a low current to revive the battery and restart the charging process safely. If your charger lacks this feature, you may need to seek professional assistance.
Is it OK to leave a lithium battery on the charger?
While lithium batteries do not suffer from overcharging if the charger is properly designed, it’s still advisable not to leave them connected indefinitely. Black Oak chargers automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full capacity, but for long-term storage, it’s recommended to charge the battery to 50-80% and disconnect it to preserve its lifespan.
How to wake up a dead lithium battery?
If a lithium battery is in sleep mode due to deep discharge, use a compatible charger with recovery mode to wake it up. This mode applies a low current to bring the battery’s voltage back to a safe level, after which normal charging can resume. Avoid using jump-starts, as they can damage the battery’s cells.
