I'm working with some 3.7V 18650, and I have to ask this question.
A lot of time people would built a 9-10S pack for 36V.
However my cheap old balance charger can only do 6S max. to get a 9-10S i would have to pay more (I payed 25~ per 80W balance charger).
Can I do 3X 12V pack? say 3-4S, and put them in a series to get 36V? I can see the usefulness in this as I have other devices that uses 12V, so if I ever need 12V juice, i just grab a pack and go, at the same time, it lets me charge 3 packs individually, I can get 3 chargers and get over 200W of charging power.
Thoughts?
