So would you agree that battery inequalities show up more at:
a) high discharge/charge rates (greater than C5)
b) higher battery voltages (more cells in series, over 48v)
c) more parallel strings
d) bad/ corroded/ loose connections
e)lack of initial EQ/ activation charge and periodic EQ after lon
Hi Ray,
Just a quick chime in on your series string comment.
If you hook up 4 x 12V monoblocks for a small 48VDC system and begin charging
at 58.8V, total voltage will be 58.8V very quickly but individual battery
voltage will not be 14.7V. Battery voltage will have a large range from 14 to
I've set electric vehicle parallel strings up like this too. Once a
month I charge each string separately. At higher charge/ discharge
rates, the problems of unequal batteries increases dramatically. BTW,
single strings are not the magic bullet either; I've had single strings
with equal current
