LifePo4 Charger

This is a nice little charger but I found a big bug in my lifepo4 app. It is listed as 6A/12V, 3A/24V. I have a project where 6 Lifepo4 16AH batteries need to be charged if they have different discharge status. I quickly found that this charger only charges the Lifepo4 at 1.5A, which I would call a continuous charge. It does the job, I charged the battery from almost empty to 100% but it took over 15 hours. (The reason is due to the multiple stages of charging. Constant current for bulk charging and gradual mode after completion, which is much slower than constant current mode. This is normal, just like charging an electric car. The first 60% of the charging speed is much faster than the last 40%). It should be charged at 6A/12V from an SLA battery. I have not confirmed this as I have a more powerful charger for my car batteries. I also found that my battery voltage was 0.2V higher than actual, which was verified by several professional VOMs. The price is good so I'm keeping it. Someone said it wasn't UL listed (which means it's not safety certified). It's certified by CE, the European Union's safety agency, with standards similar to UL, but more common for Chinese manufacturers.
