I have just hooked up a JK active balancer to my 48v 16s battery pack, and am reading a bit more on them here. When I set the pack up, I top balanced, but there is definitely some cell voltage drift since then. What I'm curious about is the following quote I've read a few times in this forum:
Can someone explain to me how or why that's the case? I had assumed that balanced is balanced is balanced. Why would balancing at the lower end of the charge curve undo balance at the high end?If you run an active balancer on cells that get down to 3.0V or below you may have some wider imbalances, and the active balancer running all the time will attempt to correct that imbalance. Doing so at the bottom can can undo a top balance, at least over time.
