Not sure what your saying here??

Hello, This might seem like a dumb question but I'm just not sure LG 18650 MF1 2100mAh 10A 3.65V Standard Charge Constant current 0.5C (1,075mA) Constant voltage 4.2V Max. Charge Voltage 4.2V Max. Charge Current 1.0C(2,150mA) If I was to charge a single cell I could use 1.0A and 4.2V...

Yes I purchased a power analyzer https://www.amazon.com/Power-Analyzer-JZCreater-Backlight-Precision/dp/B01LVTST80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505404357&sr=8-1&keywords=Power+Analyzer+-+JZCreater+Watt+Meter+Power+Analyzer%2C+High+Precision+RC+with+Digital+LCD+Screen This site does not make posting...

Another idea I found is to use DC water heating elements. Seems some solar people dump loads when their battery banks are full. They come in assorted sizes 12/24/36

Did purchase a 36v to 12v converter and a 400W (Bestek) inverter and drained using a box fan. Have also ordered a 5 pack of 100W halogen 12v bulbs and ceramic bases. I'm going to try the light bulb method ( 3 in series ) also. I'm sure it will be a lot faster. What would happen if I use 4...

Want to test the amp hour of the battery. Have 5 of them. Would also like to test charging them. Know I could use 3 12v light bulbs in series but is there a better way? Resistor packs? 10s2p 18650 Thanks

Just got around to reading the link you posted. So your running huge 24s lifep04 pack? How is lifep04 working out for you. Was looking at a lot of solar banks using them. I don't want to parallel the ebay packs I want to build my own after I'm done tinkering. Still thinking of ichargers...

999zip999 Your saying a lot of things I've read and seen. The intent is to usually bulk charge. Always undercharge to something like 4.125volt . Sense and balance leads are the same right? If the split battery is connected can I use the balance leeds for cell monitors?(not sure how that would...

First time build of any battery pack. Should be receiving today so no haven't separated cells. Got many questions. Yes pretty sure I can just bulk charge with a 52v charger. Or at least check and then bulk charge. I've seen many Youtube videos like this regarding BMS...

Sorry should have included more info. Edited post but you respond to quickly. 14s4p or maybe more parallel not sure Used battery pack building new using Vruzend kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/172657519593

52v bulk charger? (14s4p) or Balance charging?
