    I am looking for something similar myself a MPPT Buck/Boost Charger with variable output for charging Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4) That is not tied to specific cell voltage like lead acid or LiFePO4.

    I have an unusual setup using Nissan Leaf batteries which are 3.8v nominal per cell

    Per Cell 2 x Cells 3 x Cells 4 x Cells 5 cells 6 cells
    Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4)
    Ideal Charge Min 4.1 8.2 12.3 16.4 20.5 24.6
    Ideal Charge Max 4.15 8.3 12.45 16.6 20.75 24.9
    Charge Max 4.2 8.4 12.6 16.8 21 25.2
    Nominal 3.8 7.6 11.4 15.2 19 22.8
    Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)
    Ideal Charge Min 3.5 7 10.5 14 17.5 21
    Ideal Charge Max 3.65 7.3 10.95 14.6 18.25 21.9
    Charge Max 3.65 7.3 10.95 14.6 18.25 21.9
    Nominal 3.2 6.4 9.6 12.8 16 19.2
    Lead acid
    Ideal Charge Min 2.3 4.6 6.9 9.2 11.5 13.8
    Ideal Charge Max 2.45 4.9 7.35 9.8 12.25 14.7
    Charge Max 2.45 4.9 7.35 9.8 12.25 14.7
    Nominal 2 4 6 8 10 12
    I found this on Ali-express what do you guys think? My Chinglish is average

      That's the miracle of Chinglish. It can mean anything ! Try it and see.

      I'm not sure I can agree with your statement of
      > LiMn2O4 That is not tied to specific cell voltage like lead acid or LiFePO4.
      All batteries have a specific cell voltage at full charge. Exceed that, and you get a surprise fire_1f525.png
