Would one of this bms that you installed fit this solution but with less cables? Imagine 21 cables connected to groups of 2 modules? Or should I use 1 cable per module? Thank you in advance

    How to calculate a single 3.65 V cell charge and discharge state into percentage? For an example if want to charge my cell 90% only what should be the max voltage of a single cell and if i want to stop discharging on 20% balance power, what should be the minimum voltage. What if a room temperature is getting 30 Degree Celsius max in summer where these cells are installed and what if a room temperature is getting 0 Degree Celsius in winter, are these cells required any extra care while getting used as a home backup?

    I know it's an old video, but it helped me get my head around how to use this. I'm using kind of the same purpose as you with lithium cells. Mine have dropped to 0v so bumping them. See if they are any use so putting them to 3.6v and testing the resistance. I'm not very good with electronics so doing this in the garage. I have built 10s4p packs and 12s3p for my electric skateboard but with new cells. I managed to get hold of couple hundred or so recycled cells see if i ca do something with them.

    That Kungber has two models, 5A and 10A. I wonder if the 5A can be modified to output 10A also. I bet they have internally the same components (for production efficiency by the manufacturer). It could be just one resistor affecting the max current limit.

  •  4 месяца назад

    New active balancing included in BMS units for the past year or so has made this pre balancing step irrelevant unless you have a couple of wildly outside the average voltage.. In that case charging or discharging the individual cell to get them close is the remedy.. The JK units and EVE HSEV cells I have only required assembling the battery to its 51v arrangement, connecting the BMS and setting it to balance all the time.. Then I raised the charge voltage over a couple of days allowing the active balancers 2 amp transfer system to keep the cells balanced until I got to the top charge of 3.6 volts.. Then I allowed the inverters to slowly discharge the battery bank over a couple days and repeated the slow charge over a couple days again which allows the cells to be conditioned and broken in.. Having a fixture with mild compression during this initial several cycles that has a couple of pounds of pressure on the cell pack helps to force out any residual gas bubbles that might be inside the cell laminations so having them vertical with posts up during this time and charging/discharging slowly at no more than .2c drastically reduces the stress on the cells and will give a longer life as long as you keep the charge/discharge rate below .5c.. Once the cells have 50 or so cycles behind them the pressure from the fixture can be reduced to a few inch pounds at full charge or removed completely because the batteries are fully seasoned.. Follow these steps and your batteries will last 10 to 15 years before normal age deterioration starts to catch up with them and you approach 80% efficiency..
