Well there’s a thing! Unbeknown to me and maybe others, lithium and similar types are supposed to have their cells balanced for equal charging.
This only came to light because I was looking on the BMS XIAOXIANG app, whilst the rain hammers down. The technical knowledge one needs to set these batteries up is quite baffling.
Although my 3 x 100amp units are charging and seem to be , ( according to MT50), they are slightly “out of balance”.
I have 4 cells in each battery apparently, 12 in total.
Relying on the MPPT solar module as well as the MT50 to set certain parameters is not sufficient!
The little knowledge I have about this currently , will soon change as I’m about to embark on some of this technical wizardry .
So whether you have one , two or three or more of these BMS ( Battery management systems ) it’s worth while getting these batteries delivering equal charging and discharging.
This will then prolong the expected life of this costly power source .
If any one has already done this, I’d value their input.
