I am mixing Topband 3.2 Volt Cells with different capacities into a single 8S Battery. There's about a 6% difference in capacities in the cells. I wonder what will happen?
-Three are capacity tested at about 24.7ah. They are the blue wrapper ones from BatteryPlus, now sold out.
-Five are Capacity tested at 26.3 amps. They a green wrappers saying Navitas.
Factory Specs are exactly the same on both Cells. I'm glad I learned that with this smaller cell pack before building the bigger battery at 280 ah with Eve Cells.
The learning will really come when this battery is finished and is put in parallel with another 8S 25 ah pack where the 8 cells tested out around 24.7 amps with a 2.5% difference.
