Carado EBL and lithium

[alwaysared]

My mate has a Carado coachbuilt with the normal Hymer EBL with two settings on it for charging the leisure battery which are lead or AGM and he's asked me if either setting will charge a Fogstar lithium battery. I think the AGM setting will work but I thought I'd ask on here because their people on here with more experience than me

Hymer use Schaudt EBL systems, if he gets the number of the EBL he can check the charge program on the Schaudt website and compare it to the Fogstar requirements.

Mine has lead or gel, is he certain it says AGM?

I know the gel settings will usually fit but you don’t want it going to float, I ‘thought’ the AGM programs were wrong but don’t take that as being right, check the Schaudt manual and the Fogstar spec sheet.

In any event I only used my gel setting until I bought a proper charger for Lifepo4.

It's a Schaudt EBL 119

That picture shows AGM or Gel,
Mine is a EBL99 which is lead acid or Gel

That's what fooled me when he asked me, I looked at the one I've got for you but I've now asked him the EBL number and he came back with EBL 119

Use the gel setting but knock breaker out when it gets to float, that’s what I did until I upgraded

Just an update, he emailed Fogstar and they said to set it to the lead/gel setting and it will be all okay

We have an EBL119 and lithium battery. Ours is set to lead/ gel and has worked fine like this for 3 years.
