I have 32 3.2v, 100ah lifepo4 cells in a 2P 16S configuration. One 200ah Daly bms monitors 16 groups of 2 (this is a parallel first configuration).
When the battery is discharging, all the cells appear to be balanced with each other (10 to 20 mv variation). However, when the...
I'm using the alligator clips provided with the charger to the main positive and negative of the battery pack. The charger is plugged into an extension cord connected to the 120v, 20amp outlet of the generator.
When I start the generator, the charger will trip the breaker after a minute. When...
