LiFePO4 charger

Leave a Comment / Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

since I really like using LiFePO4 AA and AAA batteries in some of my projects [1][2][3], I finally gave in and built a dedicated charger for them. Previously I used a lab power supply to mimic the constant current/constant voltage charging curve, which worked also fine. But after seeing Patrick Van Oosterwijck nifty LiFePO4wered/USB™ [4],
