Good Afternoon & Merry Christmas
I'm building a 16S battery using EVE 304 Ah prismatic cells attached to the Overkill Solar 16S 100Ah BMS. Question I have is, does it make any sense to go ahead and build the battery with BMS all connected then slowly charge with my 60V-5amp Bench power supply, allowing the BMS to make balancing corrections as voltage ramps up. If the BMS falls a little behind, I can burn off the additional power from individual cell(s) as needed with a light bulb for instance. The BMS interface provides the cell voltages in real time providing me with what I believe is all the information needed to confirm that I have successfully top balanced. This to me just feels most efficient.
