I mounted this 43.8V 18A charger inside the protected electrical compartment of my boat, where it is connected to a 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 battery. The charger feels solid, and the Anderson connector makes it easy to disconnect without removing the wiring every time.

After a fishing trip, the battery was showing approximately 38% remaining. The charger brought it back to full in a little over two hours, including the slower charging stage near the end. The output remained stable, and the LED indicators made it easy to follow the charging status.

The cooling fan comes on during operation and is noticeable, but the sound is reasonable for an 18A charger. More importantly, the housing stayed at a normal temperature throughout the charge. Since this model is intended for a dry or protected location, I installed it where it will not be exposed directly to rain or water.

So far, it has been reliable and considerably faster than the lower-current charger I used before. The wiring, connector, and overall construction all feel suitable for a permanent 36V marine power setup.

Bought this for my 36V battery setup. Plugged it in and it started charging right away. No issues so far.

I emailed customer service to confirm that the charger should be installed in a dry, ventilated location. They replied with clear guidance. I followed their recommendation, mounted it above the battery compartment, and it has worked well since installation.

The lights make it easy to see whether the battery is charging, complete, or if there is a connection problem. I do not need to open the battery app every time I check the system. The charger has been simple and dependable.

I previously used three separate 12V chargers on a series battery setup, which was inconvenient. Using one 43.8V charger for the complete 36V LiFePO4 system is much cleaner and easier. It also reduces the amount of wiring I have to manage.

The cooling fan can be heard when the charger is working hard, so I would not place it next to a sleeping area. In a garage, shed, or boat compartment, it is completely acceptable. More importantly, the charger stays cool and maintains a stable output.

The charger arrived quickly and was packed securely. The metal housing feels sturdy, the carrying handle is useful, and the cables are a suitable length for my garage setup.

I have used this charger after four fishing trips so far. My 36V battery usually returns with between 40% and 60% remaining, and the charger normally finishes in about one and a half to two and a half hours depending on the starting level. No charging faults or unexpected interruptions.

I mounted the charger in a dry electrical compartment on my boat. It has enough airflow around the case, and the fan keeps the temperature under control during charging. Since this is an IP30 charger, I made sure it is protected from rain and splashing water.

The Anderson plug was one of the reasons I chose this charger. It connects firmly and is much easier to use than attaching clamps every time. The charger started immediately and the status lights were easy to follow.

The 18A output saves a noticeable amount of time. I can come back from the lake in the afternoon and have the battery ready again before the next morning. The fan is audible, but the noise is reasonable for the amount of power the charger is delivering.

I purchased this charger for a 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 trolling motor battery. After a fishing trip, the battery was at roughly 35%. It returned to full in a little over two hours. The Anderson connector is convenient and feels secure.

The battery arrived and works, but the courier left it outside without ringing the bell. I only noticed it later by checking the tracking page.

The delivery tracking was confusing. It showed the parcel in my city, then suddenly moved back to another sorting center before being delivered two days later.

I use this charger after full fishing days when my 36V battery has been heavily discharged. Charging remains stable, and the fan starts when additional cooling is needed. The fan can be heard in a quiet garage, but the sound is reasonable and it does not bother me. The housing becomes warm during charging but has never felt excessively hot. It is much more convenient than trying to charge three separate 12V batteries.

A good match for my 36V trolling motor battery. The fan keeps the charger temperature under control.

I use this charger after fishing trips for my 36V trolling motor battery. The charging is steady, and the fan noise is reasonable for this power level. It feels more suitable than trying to piece together a charging setup myself.

Works well with my 36V battery. The fan comes on during charging and keeps the unit from getting too warm.

I bought this charger for the 36V trolling motor battery. It charges steadily and does not get overly hot during use. The built-in fan cooling gives me more confidence when charging after a long day on the water.

Good charger for my 36V battery. The fan cooling is noticeable but reasonable during charging.

The DC cord is 6 feet. The AC cord is 5 feet. Combined 11 feet reach. Enough to put the charger on the floor and still reach my battery in the bow.

Asked support if this charger works with non-LiThink 36V batteries. They said yes as long as the battery has a standard LiFePO4 BMS. They asked for my battery's specification sheet. I sent it. They confirmed compatibility within a day. They also warned me that some cheap batteries don't have proper BMS and could overcharge. Good to know. My battery works fine.

I use this charger on two different 36V setups: a 50Ah trolling motor battery and a homemade 100Ah pack. On the 50Ah battery from 30% to 100%, it took 2 hours flat. On the 100Ah pack from 25% to 100%, it took 3 hours 50 minutes. The charger automatically detects the pack voltage. I plugged in the 50Ah first, it started at 18A. Plugged in the 100Ah later, same 18A. No switches or settings to adjust. The fan is louder than the 12V version but still reasonable (about 50 decibels). I leave it charging in my garage and can't hear it from the next room.

Fan runs but it's quiet. Can barely hear it from 5 feet away. Works great.

Sent an email asking if this charger works with my non-LiThink 36V battery. They said it should as long as the BMS accepts standard LiFePO4 profile. But they also offered to check my battery specs if I sent the model number. Sent it, they confirmed compatibility within a day. That's thorough support.

The charger came in a thick cardboard box with formed foam inserts. Not just thrown in a bag with bubble wrap like some accessories I've ordered. The AC cord and DC cord were both wrapped separately. The manual was included, not a QR code to download it. Old school but appreciated.

I was using a generic lead acid charger on my 36V trolling motor battery before buying this. The difference is dramatic. This charger actually completes the full absorption stage properly. My battery now consistently reads 100% on the app instead of the 95-97% I was getting before. The connector is high quality, clicks in securely, no arcing. Cord length is generous at about 6 feet. Very satisfied.

Q

The connector fits snug, no wobble. Charger stays cool enough to keep your hand on even after 3 hours of running. I like that the LED changes from red to green when complete, easy to see from across the garage. Only small complaint is the cord could be 2 feet longer. Works great otherwise.

Works great with my 36V trolling motor battery setup. Charges fast and stays cool even in the summer heat. Simple plug-and-play, no complaints after a full season.
