Have got a 100ah lithium battery. Can anyone recommend a charger? There's loads but don't know if they're what I need

Luckily mine came with a charger. It was a recommendation for someone on here.
If you're not sure contact the manufacturer and ask what they recommend.
I would also ask them for the charge characteristics
And write it on your battery so you know what percentage of the battery is left as lithium's perform differently to a leasure battery.

Noco genius 10 is a great charger, not cheap at £110 but a good charger
Use mine to charge a 100ah lithium off mains or a 2000w invertor generator

I use a Roy Pow 10a charger I got from Amazon. Cost about £45.
Very good charger and charges bang on 10a per hour. I did notice it gets quite hot but doesn't seem to affect the charge rate.

Reedy, how long does it take to fully charge your 100Ah battery with the Nico10 ?

That noco is a 10amp charger so should recharge a 100ah battery in around 10 hours if it was fully flat

Not timed it but overnight its done
Off my 2000w invertor generator I can stick a 1v top up in it in around 3hrs run time
Just invested in a 120w solar panel and controller for my next trip in September, feedback will follow

What set up are you using to charge the lithium up with solar if you don't mind me asking ?

I know you wasn't asking me but I use the below solar charge controller off of either a 60W or 200W solar panel. This controller has options for lead or lithium batteries

I have a eco worthy 120ah solar panel with controller, cost about £110
Used it in France recently, and it was excellent, getting 5.5amps on a hot sunny day and was topping up batteries well.
Used it to charge my phone and power bank too
