Bought a 5amp power supply on Amazon to top balance my 280ah cells
wired in parallel but only had 4 bus bars so after discussing on forum, I created two additional bus wires using 6awg , stripped the ends and crimped , attached in staggered form as recommended pls see photos
I set my charger to 3.6 volts and the amps to 5 ,
then after all my research and preparation, I was still so stupid as to attached the positive red wire to the wrong side of the batter
yes , I repeat I mixed up the red and black alligator clips and attached them on opposite sides
After 30 seconds the charger started smoking and the wires got really hot , I realized what I did, let it cool and started again, seems to be ok now
I feel so upset right now
is it possible I did any damage to my batteries?
pls take a look at the images and let me know if I’m ok. Also, how do I know the charger is actually charging ?
