what of the shelf charger for this

[stokepa31_mk2]

Hi all

im creating an led strip light using LEDs in parallel. this battery seems to be ideal given the 16ah rating at 3.2w which is bang on the forward drop voltage of my LEDs

anyone know what i would need to charge it that is available of the shelf. im guesing id need a high output charger

Headway 3.2V LifePo4 40160S 16AH Rechargable Battery on eBay (end time 05-Mar-11 20:09:38 GMT)

thanks in advance

Just wondering if an RC type charge would be your best bet....

I wondered that myself. seen one for £40 which will put out 5amps max. im in no rush to charge it but dont want to upset the battery if it likes a higher charge rate

Even a 5 amp RC charger would take 3 hrs to charge that

Mind you I guess once charged it would last a life time powering LEDs

My guess it it won't mind if you charger it a low rate, just make sure the charger supports lifepo4.
