What is the best budget active battery balancer?
Or should I even use one?
I’m going to build a 24v solar system for my campervan. I have 2 used LiTime 12v 200Ah batteries I will wire in series. The batteries aren’t very old and were used together by the previous owner only for a summer.
I was looking around and there are way too many battery balancers to choose from. The Victron one is only 1amp at best. Also I have heard that having an active balancer without some kind of smart system will actually unbalance the batteries if left running for a long period of time.
