Blue Smart Charger stuck on Bulk Charge for hours

I'm charging my Battleborn LifePO4 using the Lithium-ion preset and it's been stuck on Bulk Charge @ 13.7V for hours now. Is this normal?

Hi @Manny Martinez,

if the battery has been drained before or never charged, this is normal. Depending on your charge settings bulk should stay on until at least 14.2V is reached.
