I got some battery cells on Alibaba I hooked the cells together, to top balance them but it was taking forever. 8 cells. I decided to break the pack in half into two separate 12 V batteries. I put one on a standard battery charger that works well. The other I left on a TuffIom battery charger 3.65amps. When I came back sometime later the 12 volt bank I hooked up to my smart battery charger said bad battery. The cells in the bad 12 volt block; I am individually charging the cells with the small charger.
I am charging the other 12 V bank with the smart charger.
The batteries are wired in parallel with bus bars. What I find strange is if I touch my DC meter to the positive and negative on that 12 V block it still reads 3.31 if they are joined together in parallel should they not be 12 V?
I am trying to test these babies, so if there is something wrong I can file a dispute. Any advice out there would sure be helpful
thank you
