Wow, a long time then.I was tracking the AH I was putting into the battery with the Chargery and another stand alone monitor I have. I was assuming the batteries were 30-40% charged when I got them. Once I thought I was close to full charge, I was checking every 15 minutes or so. I would shut off the charge manually when I wasn't able to monitor it. I was probably a little too paranoid, but didn't want to take any chance I was going to ruin my battery while initially testing the BMS and getting the initial full charge on the battery.
Even though I had the BMS, I wasn't fully comfortable with it's functionality yet. I initially set the LVD at 3.4 just to make sure it would disconnect and so I would know I was starting up the knee. At that point, I set the Chargery to start balancing and reduced the charge current even more and kept reducing it further to 1-2 amps and allowed balancing to finish.
I had purchased a 0-30V 10A adjustable power supply. With it, I could parallel balance if I needed to .... but the pack was within 15mv by the time one cell reached 3.65V.
Overall, it took me several days with an abundance of caution to finish the initial charge/balance.
And you were trying for 3.4 and got 3.65? Or did I miss something again?
Or did you try for and get 3.4 and they try for higher after doing so?
Was it easy to get to 3.4 just by watching?
By that I mean no equipment was used to stop the charging once it hit 3.4.
Every 15 minutes eh? Better than me. I was thinking checking every half an hour LOL.
