Ok, I read that before. Some people say to leave it running all the time and some others say only while charging and above 3.4V. The balancer I got isn't all that fancy... Is it really a problem to leave these connected 24/7? This is an oversized battery for the application.lower your charging amps to about 5-10a and give it about 1 hour.
furthermore remember not to leave the balancer connected.
manually start the balancer when cells hit 3.45 high, disconnect it after done.
you could solder an on-off switch to it to make that a bit easier
As far as adjusting the charging voltage, I don't have that luxury. It's controlled by the Redarc Manager30 which can only define charging profiles based on battery chemistry. I wrote some of the details here but I can't control output current or voltage (safe for saying its GEL/AGM at 14.4V charge and 13.5V float, or Lithium at 14.5V charge and 13.6V float). I'm not sure what the charger does in the background, but it happily fed 30A to the battery in either mode, as if the cells were just thirsty for it!
