I'm not sure but @

Shorai does make their own battery charger, which works very well, especially for over-discharged batteries. It is the only recommended way to bring a battery to life after being over-discharged, as it balances the cells internally.

I would recommend checking out the OP here:

Some good info about Lithium Iron batteries and their safety/durability. All the reviews from customers in that thread have been overwhelmingly positive from both track and DD street applications; even with underdriven alternators via aftermarket pulleys.
