You need a charger with a LiFe specific charge mode. There's not only a voltage diff, but LiFe is not governed by 1C, 2C, etc charge rules like lipo. I charge my pacs at 10amps and thats only because thats the max my charger can do.
A way to deal with the low voltage is if you were running XS lipo (X is cell count), you run X+1 LiFe and it'll be pretty close. Where I use 5S lipo, I use 6S LiFe.
