LiTime 48 Volt (58.4) 18A LiFePO4 Battery Charger IP65 Waterproof

I would highly advise against purchasing this battery charger. I purchased this battery charger with two Li-Time L51.2V100-100-Basic-16-A250 batteries. To fully charge my Li-Time batteries, according to the Li-Time directions for this charger, this charger needs to be hooked up and allowed to fully charge the batteries until the battery charger's green light indicates the battery is charged. Well, that's not exactly how this Li-Time charger works on my Li-Time batteries. In the manual for the Li-Time batteries, there is a chart, that tells you what the voltage reading should be for a fully charged battery, in the case of my batteries, using this charger, both made by Li-Time, and both the batteries and charger are new, I have found that this battery charger must be allowed to charge my batteries three times, to a supposedly full charge, before the batteries are actually fully charged according to the battery manual's voltage reading chart. This makes even the normally long process of charging a battery, now take days to do. You have to hook the charger up for nearly a full day before the green light comes on, unhook it, let the battery sit for at least 3 hours to take a state of charge reading, then repeat, hooking it up for a full day, etc. I find this unacceptable. On top of this, Li-Time claims this charger to be IP65 rated. I doubt that anyone really gave this charger that rating. The way that this charger's electrical cord is assembled makes it extremely likely to stop working or cause an electrical shock if used in a normal rain on a table, as shown in advertising for this charger. The electrical cord'sconnections that are screwed together are a joke. They have an o-ring to seal the connection on the ends with threads for a ring to screw onto, but on the other end of that connection, the cord runs through a hole in the plastic housing ring, totally unsealed, this is the same connection that has an o-ring on it's other end, meaning that the rain water can run right through the hole and into the wire contacts, which they went to the trouble on the other end to use an o-ring to seal water out from these contacts. The black, outer insulation of the electrical cord I am talking about, doesn't even extend into this plastic housing on my cord, and it's like that on both ends, you can see the black and red wires that are supposed to be protected by insulation, outside of the housing. Who does that? All the stress that the actual wire contacts/connections are going to be placed under, just to hold the electrical cord inside of the housing, during day to day handling, is totally unacceptable. Maybe the housing of the charger itself will survive being used in the rain, but I sure wouldn't want to be sitting at the table it is being used on, because this cord is a lawsuit waiting to happen when someone gets electrocuted by it. Again, I would highly advise against purchasing this battery charger. It is not safe to use in wet conditions, at least mine isn't, and it does not charge batteries as it is intended to do, unless you want to take three days to charge a battery, and you don't mind running the risk of being shocked by a faulty electrical cord connection that is not capable of being given an IP65 rating. To Li-Time. I'm not a person that likes using cell phones and cameras, I'm not taking pictures or shooting videos and posting them here for you, or sending them to you via email. If you want to send me an email and discuss this further, go ahead and send me an email, but my review of this product stands, it is honest and to the point. I'll gladly send this battery charger back to Li-Time so you can analyze the problems with it and issue me a full refund of my payment for this product, but I'm not paying to send it back, that's up to you to pay for it to be shipped back. Send me an email with a shipping label for this, that includes a tracking number, and I'll send it back, but I better have a full refund to my credit card within 48 hours of that tracking number showing it has been delivered to the address on the shipping label.

I’ve had nothing but problems. Customer service has yet to refund my money. They have not given me any information about how and where to send both of their products back. Don’t do it. Save your money.

Best decision ever ! I’m really happy with my LiTime 48 volt Lithium,cleaner, lighter , faster, longer love it !

Lightweight good charger

Quiet and fast charging!
