i got a chevy volt/spark battery module 12s 48 volt.
if i charge it at 2 separate batteries 8s and then 4 s each time the hobby charger (unfortunately hobbyking is not responding properly).
it cuts off ok but when i then go back to charge the cells 1 at a time to get them balanced the cells wants to continue charging past 4.2 volts no matter the current settings.
does anyone know what chemistry the volt/spark uses?
and is gm using lihv or is hobby chargers not able to handle the LiMn2O4/LiNiO2 that according to as individual cells very well

i have to treat as 2 batteries because the above charger does not do more than 8 cells and a charger that does is $250.
