Unfortunately the charger that came with the kit has no charging light indicator, so I’m using a meter reader and voltage chart to read the battery capacity. Cheers for the info. I guess it’s not going to need much charge throughout the season for me then

4000 cycle life, lifepo4 is file to go down to 10% and then full again, this is 1 cycle
And from the manuual:
LED indicators: * LED is Red = Charging * LED is Green = Fully Charged

What you’ve been told is wrong they don’t need to be topped up. If they were lead acid yes you would
Only recharge when they drop to less than 30%

Bought myself a power barrow conversion which uses Ultramax Lithium 10A / 12V LifePO4 batteries. My questions is a what point do you recharge then batteries? After about 7 trips out it seems to still be holding charge above 90% so I’ve not charged it . I’ve been told to keep it fully charged to extend the battery life, but I can’t seem to get any info about this.
