I am mulling over the top-balance issue. I have a 60amp bench supply that I was going to use to balance. I recall having to repair a few of these over the years and am dealing with some reluctance hooking this thing up to my brand new cells and walking away. I also have a good size variac and a 10kW wound wound 60Hz transformer. I'm thinking to wind a few large turns on the transformer and put into a large diode bridge. There will be significant 120Hz ripple on the cells. I suppose I can mediate the ripple with an inductor to some extent and keep current reasonable to prevent cell heating. Should I expect any other problems?
