Earlier this Fall, I had a self-inflicted DIY battery Blowout/Overcharge fail. Two of the cells in a 16S battery bank overcharged with mis-wiring (My Fault) and preventing the JK BMS to do its job and Stop charging. The two cells were removed from the bank, along with two other cells out of caution.
These were all EVE LF280K cells. Excellent cells in my opinion.
I replaced the (4) cells with EVE LF280K v3 cells. These have been tested close to 300ah capacity. My uneasiness had been with "mixing" the (4) v3 cells with original v2 cells make any difference?
I use JK 200a Active Balance BMS on my battery banks.
The answer, the JK BMS over a weeks' period of time Balanced all cells. They are now fitting in and playing nice with the DIY Battery bank.
Equally Charging/Discharging.
