....so, if floating is not part of the program then the battery and controller has to have voltage control thresholds. Specific setpoints. I wonder what they are? I have a 7 amp hour lithium battery pack. Once the idiot light says the charge has completed, reinitiation of charge lasts under a minute until the LED changes to green. Let device sit connected for two weeks and a recharge takes 15 minutes.
That is NOT an acceptable protocol. Wait! If I charge then unplug the exact same recharge in minutes is necessary. At what point does the exercise recycle? Lithium is still being treated like a toy in consumer electronics.
plug/unplug repeatedly.... you are treating it like a toy. Just like my brother that had to bend my stuff too much or too far and it would break.
lithium will hold a charge for a year at least and probably several. No harm in leaving partial charge so no reason to top up unless you will be using the toy.
