“Published” means the maker names a profile for that chemistry in its own manual or datasheet. An absence line means the document was checked on the date shown and names none; it is never a statement that the charger cannot be used with that chemistry. Retailers with and without affiliate programmes are listed on the same footing.

Onboard chargers: what the documents establish

Four evidence cards for Sargent, CBE and Schaudt units. Start with the model and suffix on the fitted charger. A control-panel name or vehicle year cannot identify it reliably.

Charger specifications, battery-maker statements and vehicle-handbook references answer different questions. Both the applicable charger instructions and the exact battery requirements must be satisfied. A voltage match alone is not compatibility approval.

CBE CB522-LT

A dedicated 12 V lithium charger with documented stage timing and cold-current reduction. The sensor arrangement and exact battery requirements still need checking.

Document and model scope. Manual edition 04/2019, cod. 000241a, Rev.00. This is not CB516, CB516-3 or CB516/24V. A separate hardware revision was not established. Hardware revision: not established.

Sargent PX300

Sargent gives conditional lithium guidance and Fogstar names the Drift family. Published current figures have different stated scope and unresolved revision applicability.

Document and model scope. Hardware revision is unstated in the checked support pages and Swift handbook. A control panel or system-family name is not a charger revision. Hardware revision: not established.

Unresolved document differences

Sargent states 20 A charging current; Swift states 25 A shared supply output. Their measurement scope differs and revision mapping is unresolved. They are not interchangeable limits, so no automatic current comparison is offered.

Published figures and evidence gaps

Sargent’s support specification states maximum charging current 20 A at 14.5 V.

Sargent PX300 — 20amp, 3-Stage Battery Charger (Live support page; undated)
The 2025 Swift Monza handbook states the module supplies DC to the leisure equipment up to a maximum of 25 A (300 W), with the available power distributed between the leisure load and the battery.

Shared supply output is not guaranteed battery charging current.

Both the applicable charger instructions and the exact battery requirements must be satisfied. If they disagree, obtain manufacturer confirmation; do not silently choose one voltage. The battery dataset records absorption and float voltages per battery where published, and the absence line where not.

How this list was compiled

Only the maker’s own manual, datasheet or product page counts as a source. Retailer listings are never used for a specification.
A profile is recorded as published only where the maker names the chemistry. A charger marketed as “suitable for all leisure batteries” with no chemistry named is recorded as an absence.
No charger is scored, ranked or recommended over another. Rows are in alphabetical order by brand.
Price bands are the prices seen on UK retailer pages on the date recorded, kept as a band so the page does not pretend to be a live price feed.
Verification status and source age are separate. A source that could not be read stays unverified. Read sources are marked as due for review after 120 days and long overdue after 400 days. A site build date is not a verification date.

Common questions

Does a matching voltage prove an onboard charger is compatible with my lithium battery?

No. The onboard evidence cards keep charger specifications, battery-maker statements and vehicle-handbook associations separate. Both applicable charger instructions and exact battery requirements must be satisfied. A family-scoped pairing statement does not cover every battery generation or installation. Missing lithium guidance is an evidence gap, not incompatibility; unresolved ratings are not used for automatic current comparisons.

Which leisure battery chargers publish a lithium (LiFePO4) charge profile?

9 of the 16 chargers indexed publish a LiFePO4 profile in the maker’s own documentation: CTEK LITHIUM XS; NOCO Genius10 UK; NOCO Genius5 UK; OptiMate Lithium 4s 5A; Sterling Power Pro Charge Ultra PCU1220 (12V 20A); Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/20 (1); Victron Blue Smart IP65 Charger 12/15; Victron Blue Smart IP67 Charger 12/25 (1); Victron Skylla-IP44 12/60 (1+1). 5 carry the line “No published lithium charge profile found (checked 4 November 2026).”. An absence is not a statement that the charger cannot be used with lithium; it means no profile was found in the particular documentation checked.

What is the difference between a charger’s amps and its charge profile?

Retailers list output current and the number of stages. The profile is the set of voltages the charger applies for a given chemistry: absorption, float and storage. Two 15 A chargers can apply different voltages, and makers publish different charge voltages for different chemistries. This page lists the chemistries each maker actually publishes a profile for, with the voltages where printed.

What happens if I use the wrong profile for my battery chemistry?

CTEK’s own documentation for the CS ONE (Gen 2) says: “WARNING! Do not apply RECOND mode on the following types of batteries: - Lithium: LiFePO4 - Lead Acid: GEL or AGM” (checked 4 November 2026). Where a maker publishes no such warning, that is recorded as an absence, not as safety.

Do these chargers pick the profile automatically?

9 of the 16 select the profile manually (a button or switch), 2 automatically or through the maker’s app, and the rest are fixed or unstated. Each row names the method the maker publishes. Where a profile must be selected by hand, the manual is the authority on which setting matches the battery.

Are these ratings or recommendations?

Neither. Nothing on this page is a score, a rating or a “best”. Each row is what the maker publishes, quoted with a source URL and the date it was checked, and the retailer rows are listed in the same order whether or not a retailer has an affiliate programme.

Why does the mains charger matter if the van charges from the alternator?

A lead-acid battery left partially charged fails early through sulfation, in Victron’s published words. A mains charger with the right profile on hook-up or at home is the route to a full charge and float. The alternator route is covered on the split charge relay or DC-DC charger page.
