It seems I may have to top balance again ( once voltages reach 14v the cells are reading 3.47v 3.50v 3.61v 3.49v )
If I charge them in parallel here a few question I like answer to please
1 Am I looking at setting the PS at 3.65v ? At the end of the PS leads 3.65v? Or at the batteries 3.65v?
2 do top balance need to be that high to top balance or can I top balance at say 3.6v
3 what do I do if as in last time the current didn't get any lower then 5a when I stop the top balance should I just leave it until the current drop to zero or at what stage is fine to stop the top balance .
4 if I charge the batteries in series to say 14v which is the highest I dare charge them without risking a cell,
How long roughly will the top balance take ? (8x200ah cells)
Thanks for any help .
