Which charger to buy for a 36V battery

[CrazyBikes]

My charger is busted this morning while charging. Now need to buy a new charger, but on eBay I found this, where they say for Li-polymar battery suitable charger is 43.8v. Just wondering is that correct? is it safe to buy a charger rated at 43.8v output?

43.8v is for LiFePO4 batteries. 42.0v for the rest. Look at your present charger to see what voltage is written on it.

My existing charger says 36v. How to know if my battery is LiFePO4? On my battery label says Li-Polymar battery. Is it same?

Can you weigh your battery, tell us how many amp-hours and show a photo of it?

Your mean weight on a scale?

That's normal Li-ion then LiFePO4 would be heavier. You need the 42.0 v charger.

Thank you for your help. OOC, By charging with a higher output voltage Charger, would it make any impact on battery life or performance in general?

You would damage the battery by charging it at too high a voltage.
