Can a lead-acid battery charger be used to charge a lithium battery?

A lead-acid battery charger should not be used to charge a lithium battery. Lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries have different chemical characteristics and charging requirements. Using the wrong charger can lead to overcharging, overheating, or other safety issues with the lithium battery, and it may even lead to a fire or explosion.

Each type of battery requires a specific type of charger to ensure safe and effective charging. Therefore, using a charger specifically designed for lithium batteries is the wise choice to avoid potential dangers and battery damage."
