Could someone please tell me what some lifepo4 "drop in" battery manufacturers mean when they call their batteries 12.8V batteries? I have seen this painted on the face of Power Queen, Chins, and other Chinese brands.
Lifepo4 batteries (12V) should charge with 14.6 volts and at rest should be about 13.2V, right? Some users on the WEB have mentioned that the 12.8V is a function of the BMSs "over current protection" and that with some chargers (like a WFCO auto identifying battery type converter) the battery reaches the over charge threshold every time it is charged and reverts to a12.8V reading when tested. However, in reality, the battery is actually fully charged to 13.2V at rest. Purportedly, after a small load is placed on the battery, the battery "wakes up" after a minute or so and reads the actual correct voltage?
Any help for my better understanding will be appreciated.
