I have an 8S 200Ah DIY pack, and its become clear that I have 2 problem cells. 1 in particular reaches 3.65V while the others are still just a tad over 3.4V. Obviously the BMS charging switch turns off. Once the 1 cell, and the rest of the pack settles down, the charging switch turns back on, charging commences. This will happen several times in a 20 minute period, once I'm reaching full capacity. I've had to lower the charging limit on my epever CC to 28.5 in order to keep my run-aways from hitting over 3.65V. However, when I charge the same pack with my noco genius charger at the reduced rate of 10A, the runaway cells behave much better, and all 8 cells can reach near full capacity with little variation. In addition to the BMS balancing, I also have a Heltic8S (5A) active balancer, but both can't seem to keep up when the CC is putting 30-50 amps in at any given time. So my question is: How can I / or can I throttle the CC to reduce current once voltage has reached 28.5 (that seems to be the sweet spot to keep the run-aways from over voltage) then slowly bring the pack up to say 29V. I feel its somewhere in the charge limit / boost / equalize / float settings, but when I've tried to do what I think I need, I get parameter errors. Like float volts can't be above charge limit volts..etc..
Any advise what I can try?
