All are working fine with thicker leads! For future readers, I was just going off the PSU display voltage at 3.65V. As the replies above said there was enough resistance / voltage drop on the thin leads to reduce the voltage at the cell terminals to around 3.3v, so therefore it wasn't taking...
Hi,
I've recently received 16x LF280K (Grade B). Individual cell voltages and polarities were all 3.27 - 3.28 volts with a multimeter. Yesterday I connected them in parallel for top balancing.
I bought a 30V 10A Bench power supply (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B083BVGRLN/)

Hi,
I've currently got:
(Home on-grid ESS)
16s EVE 280ah DIY Lifepo4
Victron Quattro 48v 10k
Daly 250a BMS (I've not yet set up the VenusOS serial driver)
Victron Lynx power-in shunt and distributor
I'd like to add another 16s pack this year and maybe end up with 3 or even 4 16s...
Increasing the voltage 0.1v increases the current to 3.6A - I could be wrong but was expecting a much higher current, maybe the cells are at a higher soc than I thought.
I'll make some new leads up tomorrow.
