Itinerant1, in your opinion, is jaycocreek seeing balancing on his smart shunt from what he describes or not?
Is that the same as what 3 tons sees? (I can't see his posts) If so, why wouldn't that show on any monitor such as the Trimetric?
It was probably balancing during the 14.4/ 13.6 cycles but it would of happened at the higher voltage period but that is not the bms balancing, that's the charger doing what it was programmed to do?
"If" the bms was causing the shutdown and restarting I would guess the cells certainly have runners that the passive balancing can't keep up with. Without the ability to see individual cell voltages it's just my guess what someone else's batteries are doing.
You do understand what passive balancing or active balancing is or does, most dropins will use passive just because it's cheaper. My cells use passive with the sense boards (bms component) that start balancing when a cell reaches 3.55v, the sense boards will draw 0.5A until the voltage has dropped below 3.55V. During this process it's normal for some cells to balance more than others and some cells to rarely balance.
