In short yes, but it will take longer to charge and you may not receive a full charge or a balanced battery. However, there are many other factors to consider whilst charging Lithium. Lithium Chargers are designed to fully charge and balance your Lithium battery at a regulated charge voltage of 14.6v. A dedicated lithium charger will offer various safety protection whilst charging that a lead acid charger cannot. Lithium PRO Energy always recommends using a Lithium Charger with their batteries.
The charger in most motorhomes or caravans are surprisingly, still very old technology and have not been updated for many years. Many offer different charging profile settings for GEL or AGM lead-acid batteries, but very few have a dedicated Lithium LiFePO4 charging profile. Whilst an AGM profile should charge your Lithium battery to 95% over a longer period of time, assuming it does not have a De-sulfation or Equalisation phase. It will not work as efficiently as a dedicated LiFePO4 charger. It will not protect or preserve the life of your Lithium battery in the same way as a charger designed for Lithium technology.
More importantly, if the Battery Management System (BMS) within the battery, decides to shuts down the battery to safeguard it as it has sensed an excessive use parameter, such as over temperature, over charging, over discharging or a short circuiting etc. A lead acid charger does NOT have the technology onboard to be able to restart the Lithium battery. A lithium battery charger will sense that the lithium battery is showing 0v and is designed to recognise the battery requires restarting prior to commencing charging. Whereas a lead acid charger will see 0v and think the battery is dead and will not be able to reset or commence charging.
Lithium chargers are designed to charge lithium batteries with a regulated charging profile, they use a Constant Current Constant Voltage, CCCV profile. It will charge your battery much faster and more efficiently than lead acid charger switched to a GEL Profile. They are also designed manage the balancing process of individual cells during the charging process which enables to the battery to achieve a perfectly 100% SoC State Of Charge. Charging with a regulated voltage of 14.6v and shutting the charger off at the correct voltage is essential to protecting the longevity and lifespan of your Lithium battery. Buying a lithium charger ensures you get the best protection for your investment by looking after your battery correctly.
