$begingroup$ Thanks, Russell! I did eventually find a few "large" battery chargers that feed off AC (some at rather ridiculous prices). Since I''m apparently not losing much, though, and since A) being able to hang a couple solar panels off it in the future would be nice, and B) I''m going to have a nice power supply in the near future anyway, I think I will indeed find a good solar charge
This paper investigates the features of a new charging method (Cycle Recovery Charging) which employs a combination of the traditional charging techniques; namely constant voltage charging, continuous current charge, and pulse charging.

Also, the way of charging matters too. parallel or series charging.. Having said that, you can use an external power supply (even Lead acid chargers will do the trick) to charge your battery pack only if you can
Why is this a problem? Because at 13.2v the battery will be significantly discharged, and so you will observe the battery going through a deep cycle after every full charge, even though it remains plugged into shore power. Therefore the ideal charger for LiFePo4 batteries (in our opinion) is a current limited power supply set to 14.0 to 14.2 volts.
Grid-connected solar PV plants with storage batteries running as a base unit can much help maintain power supply continuity. • An effective design method is of great interest for the sizing of large-scale grid-connected PV systems.
A solar charging system is not complete without a charge controller. The charge controller takes the energy from the solar panels or wind turbine and converts the voltage so it''s suitable for battery charging. The supply voltage for a 12V battery bank is about 16V. This allows charging lead acid to 14.40V (6 x 2.40V/cell) and Li-ion to 12.60

The Cost of Solar Charging vs Other Fueling Methods. One of the primary benefits of investing in solar power for EV charging or residential electricity is that there are no ongoing costs once you recoup the cost of the system. Nothing lasts forever, but the sun isn''t going anywhere. Solar panels capture sunlight for decades, even in extreme
No. A CV power supply is a good way of "waking" a sleeping BMS. The issue with sleeping BMS is that some chargers won''t attempt to charge a battery if the battery is below a certain voltage. The power supply circuitry must not permit reverse flow from the battery to the PSU. If it does, you can add a suitable diode.
