Hi,
I had a battery balanced, had disconnected the BMS but left cells in 4s 12v config. (4 x 3.2v 105Ah lifepo4 cells)
I came back after 3 months to find that 2 cells had swollen by 60% (I could not believe how much).
My question is, would it be a factor that I had disconnected the BMS?
The cells were cheap to begin with, I assume that is probably the main reason for swelling.
When I took the BMS the battery would have been at 95% charge.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
