Hi.
I have this SOK 206 Ah battery:
The specs say to charge using: 14.4-14.6 V and 40 A
I am not at the spot where my solar system is for a few weeks now but since I have this battery with me I am trying to figure out if I can do the recommended two cycles to synchronize the battery's internal BMS here so that I save time by having it ready for when I am where my system is again.
The problem is I only have this dinky wall charger here whose specs say it can put out 13.6-14.7 V and 1 A.
I am not sure if the voltage ranges overlapping like this is enough or if the wider range on the charger, especially towards the bottom of the range, could present a problem?
Also, the amperage this charger is capable of is super weak. It is meant for keeping the gel starter battery of my non-electric tractor lawn mower topped up over the winter and I happen to have it here with me. Since it only puts out 1 A and the battery says the recommended charging voltage is 40 A, should I avoid using it or will the only problem be the super slow charge time?
The battery came with 12.8 V on it and the BT app says the SOC is 0 % but I think I need to do the two cycles before it will synchronize.
I'm thinking if I can use this charger, I can charge the battery to full, even if it takes like two weeks or something, discharge it and then charge it again and get the two sync cycles done and over with.
Am I liable to run into problems by attempting to slow-mo bulk charge this battery using this charger?
