Whatever you want to call it I guess....? I am behind hooking up my 8 cells in parallel. I am going to do the same as you. I plan to let them sit a day or two before I hook up my power supply. Then charge in steps. I know this step probably isn't necessary but I feel better about it and it can do no harm.Equalize or equilibrate, balance?
Sure. Will's video is step by step. Love that guy!Power supply turned on before connecting to cells?
Yeah...I see Will had his power supply turned on when he connected to the cells.Exactly why it was mentioned.
Read on this forum, have not found the thread yet, looking for it, that magic smoke can be had by not turning the power supply on first.
Of course that might only be for the Value power supply's that us thrifty souls would purchase.
Considered buying LTO, what did you throw for the set?I'm charging individual LTO cells one at a time because they're low SOC, then I'll passively balance all simultaneously. Takes about 5hrs to go from 2.30 to 2.475 per 40ah cell with my PSU.
I didn't get one of those. I probably should have and if I run into a problem with less capacity I will. There have been very few that have received cells with less capacity than advertised and those could be questionable at this point. Whenever I decide on the inverter, I will test the capacity using the inverter. I am taking this very slow....lol.Hopefully the battery heater works out for these cells.
