Hi all,
Just joining the forum, so I'm posting here. Thanks in advance for any help!
I recently purchased this 2s LiFe battery. I have a programmable charger that can handle any Lithium battery (imax B6), but like an idiot I charged the battery on the LiPo setting instead of the LiFe setting numerous times (probably 10). Basically I overcharged by about 0.7V per cell. I also treated it like a LiPo and never discharged below 3.2V per cell. Some info online says that, while obviously not a good idea, the battery should be able to take that (https://www.powerstream.com/LLLF.htm). I can confirm that my battery never got even remotely warm during charging or discharging, and is not swollen. I'm wondering if it's still safe to use though, or if I should get rid of it to be safe. I use it in my radio, not on a vehicle. The battery is currently back to LiFe storage voltage and is in a safe bag at the moment.
Thanks!
