The charger arrived and its siting at a steady 2.23 amps 3.56 volts, I will finally get the fist 64 charged in the next few hours
I don't think I have that much patience.

So far my charging experince is not going so well, probally be faster/cheaper to hookup a bike light generator to the stationary bike and watch the wife charge them.I don't think I have that much patience.
That's funny. I can just imagine my wife's response if I tried that.So far my charging experince is not going so well, probally be faster/cheaper to hookup a bike light generator to the stationary bike and watch the wife charge them.
Two chargers that are only doing 2 amps with a massive price delta, I'm not finding anything else that gives me hope on top balancing.Please qualify "complete failure". I don't want to be making suggestions without a better understanding of the situation.
I will go back and look at it that, but now I have purchased two chargers that were defective. I took a short video of the new 40amp running with voltmeter readout and sent to batteryspace I'm interested to see how they respond.My benchtop power supply maxxed out at just under 10 amps when top balancing my eight cells. The unit is rated for 10 amps. I didn't do anything special. I used the supplied leads and even the alligator clips.
One of the alternate charging step in the top balance tutorial is to put the cells in a series configuration, fully connect and configure the BMS and connect a charger appropriate to the voltage of the pack. But that step is only to be used to charge to a voltage that is less than a full charge, something like 3.5 volts (check the top balancing tutorial for the exact voltage).
At this point I'm willing to try anything to get closer to completion, I will pm you my address and please bring the chickens asap. I'm asking for a return label since I just wasting wires, tinned lugs.Strange. Did they also suggest that you wave a dead chicken over the power supply and cells?
Tried with 4inch 4wg with tinned lugs with each charger and no improvements, I'm wondering if the batteries are defective as 3 chargers being defective is very unlikely. At this point should I forget the chargers create a 16s as I have my growatt 120amp on the wall ready to go. I have plenty of m8s from batrium and can create several.First of all, disconnect the power supply from the battery. Measure the voltage at the leads, make sure this is not higher than 3.65V; 3.5 will do fine as well. Don't touch the buttons after this, and connect to the battery. As an aside, make sure you use proper leads from the power supply to the battery (using thin cables and alligator connectors does not cut it).
