Recommend charger for 63Ah 4S Li-Ion (16.8V)?

I would like to charge the described battery with 10-20A current. Would the Blue Smart IP65 suit this application? I was unable to find adjustability limits for voltage. This is a 4S 18P pack of LG Mj1 cells. Thank you!

At 4s-18p you will be there a while.

But yeah since the variations of the charger output is between that range you should be good with that charger.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster at 4.2v per cell though. Also the 18p is questionable.

Do you have a BMS? Does it measure all the cells?

4.2v per cell is very high for lithium. Usually 3.8v is the max. 18650s?

Yes, these are LG Mj1 cells, not LiFePo4.

Yeah. I realised that after I Google checked them. Sorry about the previous answer.

I am going to have to ask. I see it is not on the tech specs. I have done 15v with one. But not 16.4v. I can set it there in the app but not test it on my battery.
