I am planning to get an IP22 12/30, and build a 12v Lifepo4.
Would you pls.let me know if I could set the charger to a CC/CVmode (continuous current/voltage) to do a top balancing of each cell? I hope to avoid buying a power supply just for the top balancing.
Thank you
No, you can not initially charge/balance your cells with a IP22 12/30.
You need to have cell balancers/voltage monitoring hooked up before initial cell/battery charging.
Hmmm..
Do you plan to use the battery without a BMS?
If yes, use Bottom Balancing, not Top Balancing.
Anyway, don't use IP22 to charge individual cells. It can't charge at the low voltage required for a single cell.
