Hi all
I am building a 2x 8S battery banks using 16x 3.2v 320ah cells. (8S,2P)
I have top balanced half the cells doing the following:
series charge in 8s configuration to 28v, then parallel them to 3.6v (my DC power supply only shows to 1 decimal point so didnt do up to 3.65v) until the DC charger shows 0.00 charge current.
I am now doing the second batch
Once I do them, what's the best way to then build the 2 banks?
They have been top balanced but the resting voltage seems to differ quite a bit after a few days (up to 0.03v)
For the 16 cells to get maximum capacity is it better to order them from 1-16 in resting voltage state and take the bottom half and make the battery bank, then take the top half and make the other battery set?
Or does it not really matter?
