Hello,
I was having a discussion with someone.
"Balancing LiFePO4 cells to absolutely the same charge voltage is not that important, the charge curve shows that there is very little difference between a 3.55V and a 3.65V charge for example, fussing that detail will not make a meaningful difference to the capacity delivered. All these RC devices are cool if you like to spend time maintaining a battery, but such methods are not fail safe, they don’t protect your battery if you make a simple mistake and everybody makes mistakes occasionally. IMO a battery that takes care of itself and is protected in a fail safe manner is infinitely better."
What are your thoughts on this quoted statement? I won't reveal who said it, only that I don't really know if it's a solid concept to follow.
