this is very similar to computers many have one but few can repair or even ajust them to maximize there full potential uses??? lifepo4 batteries is in the same kind of zone for a majority of people using this technology. BUt it is nice to see some take the time to explain it like you do. thumbs up and i lift my hat to you for having the patience to do this.

Having both the Victron and Redodo Balancers, I have found Redodo is quicker to Recover than the Victron Offering and runs allot cooler. Thank You Nick for these Videos 📹 and Detailed Explanations on each subject.<br><br>💦 Indian Creek Ranch ⛩️ Southern California High Desert 🌵 3,100' on the Mesa 🌴

would it be the best charger /bms , the one that charges every cell separately and all to the same voltage from the same voltage , parallel , and combine the output only, to a series ?<br>i am saying and for long arrays of batteries in series .

I had the Victron balancer on a 24v plant comprised of 8 12V 140 AH batteries, it didn't work very well. I replaced it with one from Redodo and have been running it for 2 years with great success.

What do you think about other battery balancers like the PowMr? I know you don't like 12v batteries wired in series for 48 volt but, I'd still love to see a test just to see how it does with that set up. FYI there are a lot of solar systems out there that use this kind of configuration for solar storage.

A balancer is balancing 😅 What a surprise. But LFP really needs a BMS.
