Hi Ken; 
Check out Battery Tender 022-0209-DL-WH which is a 4 and battery charger/maintainer
that is selectable for conventional or lithium iron batteries. I have a lithium
iron battery in my aircraft while wiring that is continually plugged into
this charger. Battery seems happy. Allows me to do testing as I add each circuit.

Cheers! Stu.

Subject: AeroElectric-List: shore power combined with LiFePO battery 

I am finishing up my airplane and it is starting to sink in that I really need
to spend some hours sitting in it getting used to the instrumentation (I have
never used glass cockpit before this). So there is a need to sit in the airplane
with shore power connected to keep from running down the EarthX battery. But
I am concerned about using shore power with lithium battery technology because
of their charging sensitivities. What do you guys think? Would it be okay to
connect an adjustable power supply to the electrical system, with the battery
in place? If so, what should I set the voltage for? The problem is that pulling
the battery is a bit of a hassle and takes about a half hour. Same for installation.
It would be better if I could just plug in. 

Thanks, 

Ken
