RE: A123Racing Battery Questions
This is for Brian, A123 Racing...
In your your post on 9/12/2006 you said, "...a 2S1P (6.6V) pack can be brought up to 8.4V provided that it not be kept at that voltage for a long period of time, and that the pack is balanced properly."
Later, in the same post, you said, "Even though the batteries are tolerable of 4.2V / cell we do not recommend that they be charged on a 4.1/4.2V Lithium charger because the charger will maintain the pack at 4.2V for several minutes... Also because those chargers do not monitor and balance the cells during charging..."
The literature that came with my FMA Cellpro 4s charger says, "Each cell is charged independently... ...Charger balances (equalizes) cell voltages while it is charging the pack."
My conclusion is it would be ok to use the Cellpro 4s charger on one of your packs provided the process was closely monitored and stopped after a short time at 4.2V. Do you concur?
