    Brand new lithium charging question

    I received my new lithium today for running electronics.
    I hooked it up to my noco gen pro set to lithium mode and it's been charging for 3+ hours and seems to be stalled at the marker just before full.
    Voltage reads 13.31.
    Shouldn't it be fully charged by now? And isn't full 13.5v?
    Thanks

    resting voltage after fully charged, LifePo4 should measure around 13.5-13.6 volts

    Two thoughts, one, it could still be balancing. Two go ahead and discharge it a bit, then leave it on the charger and let the BMS do it's thing.

    I have found that new lithium batteries need to go through a discharge cycle or two before they fully charge as expected. At least that’s been my experience.

    Thanks all. I was a bit impatient. Let it charge overnight and it looks to be ready to roll

    Charge voltage on a lifepo4 battery should be 14.4v
