This may seem like a basic simple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere here.
I just received my first pair of LiFePo4 batteries, a pair of 200AH ReBel batteries with 100A JDB smart BMS with bluetooth (a pair from their discounted mis-manufactured batch (wrong BMS 100A vs 150A installed).
My question is what to do before installing and using them, should I, discharge them, top them off (or vice versa) do a capacity test, etc? I do have a 5A CC/CV bench power supply and a good Fluke meter, and will be getting a cheap $20 PZEM-015 style 200A shunt meter in the mail tomorrow. Just waiting on wire and another Renogy DC-DC MPPT charger before installing them in my motorhome, first one from Amazon was broken.
Thanks for your help.
