Ok so i have purchased 4, 12 volt server power supplys at 10 dollars each....
Now I have a 12s lifepo4 battery pack. lifepo4 reccomends 3.8 volts per cell x 12 = 45.5 volts....
Now problem is my 4 x 12 volt server psu in series makes around 50 volts....
Can I charge my lifepo4 batteries with a slightly higher voltage.... I make sure the cells dont go over 3.8 volts or what not, its just during charging the voltage is higher.... Normally chargers for a 12s lifepo4 are around 45 volts... Its it safe for it to charge voltage go over by 4-5 volts.
Thank you....
I tried hooking 3 x 12v psu with a boost converter to 48 volts except somehow my boost converter doesnt really work coupled with the server psu and my batteries dont charge at all Weird cause I measure 45 volts on the output of my boost converter but it just doesnt charge them up.
