At times (cloudy day) I need to charge my batteries from the wall - to supplement the solar. (well use my other solar array)
I currently use a 8S hobby charger, but changing to 48V so need a 16S charger.
Also going "cheap" as its only used occasionally - but most cheap ones are 3.65v/cell, and I only charge to 3.4v/cell.
Would it be possible to use a 13S Li ion charger instead - which gives 54.6v, 3.4125, which is perfect.
Voltage is OK, what are the charging curve differences?
It may hit float early sure, but thats not a problem.
other options?
