BMS Operation
Over Charge Protection Over charge detection voltage: 3.9 +/- .05V
Over charge detection delay time: .96 – 1.4s
Over charge release voltage: 3.80 +/-.05V
Maximum charge voltage: 3.65 +/-.05V
3.9 x 4 = 15.6v
3.8 x 4 = 15.2v
3.65 x 4 = 14.6v
3.2 x 4 = 12.8v
So what voltage is the BMS balancing to? If it is really 14.2v as seen on your meter, is that what it is supposed to be?
If it should be balancing at a higher voltage than 14.2, will the battery be undercharged over the long run?
How accurate is that 14.2?
I don't have Li, but I think I would want to know how important all this is. I know the DIY guys like the way they can read each cell's numbers, but with a drop-in you have to have faith. I am not very good at faith :( YMMV !
I did not know that if you hit the 14.4 with Charge Wizard and start the 4 hour time, that you can't hit the 13.6 any time you want to drop the voltage--please confirm.
