Well I decided to use my RC car charger and charge up my pair (2) 4s battery banks.. now just in case anybody was curious yes the charger does active cell balancing and it also has over voltage shut off. But it only does about 5-6a
Not really a huge deal.. but eventually you get to a point where you have one or two cells lagging behind quite a bit and it takes quite a while to do it this way I'm thinking I need to reconfigure them in parallel and put them on a bench power supply
Maybe I should bottom balance them while I am waiting for my bench power supply to come in the mail?.. this charger has a discharge function but I think it's limited to 2 amps per channel or I suppose another way I could do it is pop a 750 w inverter on the battery bank and hook up a 400 w heater that I have laying around?
