Hi All,
Doing my first build and I got 4 - 280AH Eve cells from Docan. The cells arrived at 3.1 volts. Put them in parallel and using a newly purchased Dr. Meter 30V/ 10A DC Power Supply, went on to charging. Set the charger to 3.65 volts at max amps. Three days later, the cells are at 3.35?!?! I am not sure if the charger is actually working. The amps don't go above 4 while it's charging, which does not make sense to me. I read that it would take a long time, but this doesn't seem right. I'd think that it should be charging at 10 amps until the cells got somewhat close to the target voltage. I am thinking about returning the charger. Given that I am a newbie, it is totally possible that I am doing something wrong!! Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks for any help!!
