Charge LiFePO4 with blue smart IP65 12/5 without BMS

Hello, i bought 6 12V/160Ah LiFePO4. Because of delay with the project, they are still waitig to be connected an installed. They are down to 12,65V and I want to charge them with my Blue Smart 12/5 charger... Since the BMS is not installed yet, is there anything to worry about? Or can I just fully charge them since they ar self balancing?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Uwe. Your Li's aren't Pb's, and are likely to be very happy in storage at that V. By all means though seek advice from the maker as to what to do.

The cutoff point is 11.0V for (all?) Victron Li batts. Advisable to stay well above that of course, but you should be pretty right where you are.
