Charging lithium iron phosphate batteries is critical

My solar system that I have installed in my caravan is great and just enough to power my mini split system and induction cooktop at the same time supply but i installed my solar only system inverter and ran my system for two days without testing it on solar only and my batteries were completely dead and my inverters had a bad heart attack with bells and alarms they shut down, to protect my system. They didn't restart because my batteries were severely drained. So I had to charge them to at least 20 volts first to get the inverters to restart and charge, and then everything worked again. It is NOT GOOD to charge lithium iron phosphate batteries with a regular charger and I looked at the Revain and found that suitable chargers are expensive and hard to come by. Then I found this 12/24V charger that charges lithium iron phosphate batteries and grabbed it right away. These batteries charge quickly so I charged all three in just a few hours and the inverters kicked in and charged my batteries perfectly. This charger is a life saver. If in the future I let my batteries run low, I have this little charger with me that allows me to use my generator to charge my lithium batteries without fear of damaging my batteries or inverters.
