Yes, much safer, you don't need to worry about charging a lead acid battery below freezing and you don't need a current limit - note that the battery shown above has "Max charge rate 4A" clearly written on the case, your car alternator can provide 20 times that!Thank you for the feedback, I also have 12V lead motorcycle batteries sitting on the shelf. Would it be safer if I switched it to that?
Lead acid batteries are not ideal though, you would be better off adding a proper charger for your lifepo4 battery with current limit and temperature sensing.
