Back to charging, and trying to take good care of the celles - in regard to the 24V pack on my newish mower...my power supply allows me to tell it a peak current and peak voltage. It will hold the peak voltage and current until it reaches the voltage setpoint, then the current drops - to mere milliamps if I am patient..
It sounds like I can safely set the voltage to 28.8V and 4 amps, and not be concerned if I forget for a few days. Do I have that right? If I am in a hurry, I could wait for 28.8V, then perhaps set it a 30V and 1Amp? I could rig up a JLD 612 temperature controller to be a minder and shut off the charge at 100F or so. JLD 612 has a PID finction so I could turn it on and off to maintain a temperature setpoint...not sure where exactl toe put the thermocouple or RTD to sense the temperature though. Maybe be stick in between a couple of the batteries. Does that make any sense. I am interested in a a walk away not worrying set up (with the stuff I have on hand. I could also mange it for temperature and use a plain old 10A 12V charger with the cell paralleled.
