I finally got my first Lithium pack . A generic LiFePO4 48V 15ah pack made using 16 40152 cells. I brought it home atd the first thing I did was to cutthrough the duct tape and take a look to confirm the cells and the wiring. Next I checked the voltage, around 51V and then checked each cell (voltages between 3.2 - 3.3V). I gave it a charge for 4 hours (came with a 4A 48V charger) then checked the voltage (57V), some cells around 3.6 and a few around 3.4V one as high as 3.745V.
Soo my questions are:
what should the charged voltage of this pack be roughly ?
what should be the average voltage of a charged cell be ?
What else should be done with a new LiFePO4 pack before I put it on my ebike?
I have a feeling I should look into buying a separte 3.2V charger to balance the few that are significantly lower (3.4V) What do the experts think
