This battery charger is compatible with both traditional and smart alternators. However, since traditional alternators maintain a steady voltage during charging and smart alternators adjust their output based on operating conditions, it's essential to connect the charger to a smart alternator using the IGN Signal Wire included in the package, through the Vehicle Ignition Port.

This charger is compatible with 12V Lithium, Gel, AGM, and Calcium batteries, ensuring they reach a full 100% charge. Moreover, it can also revive lithium batteries that have been discharged to a low voltage.

The Power Queen DC to DC Battery Charger with solar input includes a Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR). This feature allows the charger to perform Trickle Charging for both the service battery, ensuring it maintains a full charge, and the starting battery using solar panels. Moreover, the VSR ensures reliable isolation between the starting battery and service battery, preventing any interference during charging.

Leaving a lithium-ion battery on the charger overnight is typically safe, particularly with chargers like those from Power Queen designed to halt charging when the battery reaches full capacity. This auto-stop feature is standard in modern lithium-ion chargers, effectively preventing overcharging.

It's crucial to ensure your charger provides the correct current and voltage for charging LiFePO4 lithium batteries. For instance, using a 24V charger with a 12V LiFePO4 battery is not recommended. It's essential to use a charger specifically designed for this battery chemistry. Additionally, when charging LiFePO4 batteries, avoid using standard lead-acid chargers that may have features like desulfation or dead battery mode, as these features can potentially harm LiFePO4 batteries.
