I have aquired 26 Leaf modules I will use as an off-grid battery pack. Befor assembling the pack I need to make sure they are all at the same voltage as I will have to parallell 13 of them. Also I plan to get ahold of quite a few more which I will then need to integrate into the pack.
Therefore I would like to charge all the cells to 4.05V first (I will limit charging to that to extend battery life as this pack will spend most of it's time fully charged). So I am looking for a charger with an adjustable voltage. 1S is okay, I prefer to do one cell at a time. I don't need much amperage either, 2A or so should be enough.
Any suggestions?
The pack will be 13P2S at first, if I get enough extra modules the goal is at least 10P7S or maybe even 14P7S. BMS will probably be an Orion Jr. and the chargers are twin Outback FlexMax80 (one will do when I upgrade to 48V) connected to 6 327W Sunpower panels on a dual axis tracker. Inverter is one Outback VXF2612E for now, will be two VFX3048A in the future.
