Re: [electricboats] Cells seem to have stopped increasing voltage when balancing

After doing this balancing for about 10 days and still a long way from 3.65v , and doing some more research, I am wondering about splitting the 16 batteries up into groups of 4 and then charging them, with a 12v LifePo4 charger, to 3.55v, which will take about an hour or two for each group of 4, which are now at 3.310. Then top balancing them to 3.65v. From what I have read LiFePo4 batteries flatline and increase a tiny bit at a time, until they get close to the target voltage, 3.65v, and then the balancing happens a lot quicker. The batteries are at 3.310 now, and they were at 3.27v ten days ago. If charging them in groups of 4 to 3.55v and then putting the 16 back in parallel to balance to 3.65 is an acceptable method I will do it and it will save me a lot of time and accomplish the same thing. I hope. Whatever thoughts you have would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
