Hi there
Reading about in this forum, grintech and the web it became clear to me that it can really expand the lithium batteries lifetime, if I don't charge a lithium battery to the max.
However, how can I do that, if my charger is just one of those black bricks that come with a hailong battery?
I was wonderning if I could just put a diode in series while charging, using the voltage drop over the diode to prevent the full charge voltage to ever reach the battery.
Or would the charger compensate for that?
In my case I have a 13s 14.5ah 48v battery with LiCoxNiyMnzO2 18650 Panasonic cells. The BMS limits to 54,6V and turns off at 35,75V. I'd prefer to charge only to around 53Volts.
I am aware that I could use a better charger or switch to a smarter BMS. But I'm really trying to find out, if there is a low cost solution of reducing the max charge voltage by about 1.5V with the given components.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.
