Just bought a set of LifePO4’s for my TM and using my MinnKota 460PC to charge on AGM setting. My question is if anyone else is using the same charger with LifePO4 batteries and how long you’ve been doing it? What’s the condition of the batteries to date?
I have the same charger and I'm charging Ionic lithium batteries with it. Been doing so since November of last year. They will only charge to 99%, but no issues at all to date.
Been fishin' since I was 5 years old...Thanks Grandpa!
I use my old MK330D on my LiTime batteries, and they are fine so far. Minn Kota has a service bulletin saying that the older chargers are fine to charger LiFePo4 batteries as long as the manufacturer says that it can charge in AGM mode, although compatibility can vary amongst the various battery vendors.

Great info everyone! Useful to hear everyone’s experience if newbies like myself should anticipate anything.
