My neighbor just gave me a 30 amp DC power supply and I have a new Victron Orion-tr 12/12 30(non isolated) charger which I will install when I install my 271 ah battery which is arriving tomorrow.
I was thinking I could initially wire the cells in series and charge them for a while at 30 amps with the above charger and DC power supply. I'd wire the neg from the battery and the DC power supply to the DC charger so they are common.
This should work, right?
I'd pull the charger off and use my 10 amp supply, put the cells in parallel and lower the voltage as I got close to the knee.
If this is a bad idea, please let me know.
