BMS Theory | Cell Balancing
Without balancing, some cells can become overcharged or discharged more than others. This imbalance can reduce the overall capacity of the battery since the battery management system (BMS) will stop charging if any cell reaches a critical maximum voltage, and stop discharging if any cell reaches critical depleted voltage.
GUIDE to properly Top-Balance and Charge a LFP Battery: Part 1
The resting voltage of a fully charged LFP Cell is around 3.37 V. Any voltage above 3.37/Cell upto 3.65 V/Cell with proportional cut off criteria will charge LFP fully. If not cut off, it will then gradually overcharge it. There''s a subtle difference. Please try to understand its implications regarding LFP charging and balancing.
6. Troubleshooting & support
This can, for example, happen in a system where there is not enough solar power to fully charge the battery, or in systems where the generator is not running long or often enough. ... This could be because of a cell imbalance. If a cell has a cell voltage below the "Allowed to Discharge" setting in the battery the BMS will turn the load off ...

That would make the imbalance grow over time as most BMS''s do not balance a cell until its cell voltage rises above 3.4v. Give the BMS some balancing time by holding the absorb voltage to 14.2 to 14.4v for several hours.

How a Solar Cell Works
A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their outer energy level than does silicon. Because boron has one less electron than is required to form the bonds with the surrounding silicon atoms, an electron …
LifePower4 Battery stack charge imbalance
Unloaded, rested open circuit voltage is more reliable. Once you have cell current involved, the amount of cell terminal voltage slump due to overpotential cell voltage slump to migrate the lithium ions which is dependent on current level, temp of cell, and condition of cell, screws up any SoC correlation to cell terminal voltage.

battery imbalance fix
I was going to swap the lower voltage batteries in series as you suggested but I check the voltage they are all in the 13.24v and 13.25v. the battery monitor reads 35% since the solar panels charged the battery this morning. I will check the individual battery voltage these days and figure out what''s wrong . thanks
Cell voltage imbalance only when fully charged | Page 2 | DIY Solar ...
With that inbalance at only 27 battery volts I suggest using a DC resistive load across the high cell and manually discharging energy whilst observing cell volts via the app. An automotive 50 watt automotive bulb is a useful load. Apply across the high cell for 10s of seconds at a time. Mike...
How much Cell Voltage drift is acceptable for LiFePO4?
Just be careful since like many, one can get obsessed with voltage alone and forget about *time*. In other words, you can charge a cell to a conservative 3.45v, but if left on charge long enough - even with the voltage limited to 3.45v, you will end up over-charging and damaging the battery.
BMS stops discharging when there is a single cell over voltage
For a large AH array this can take a very long time (days->weeks) to bring cells into balance. You can get some power resistors (1 ohm, 10 or 20 watt) and manually place across higher voltage cells to bleed them down faster to match lower voltage cells. Just don''t let them over discharge cell by leaving them unattended.

Review of Cell-Balancing Schemes for Electric Vehicle Battery
The battery pack is at the heart of electric vehicles, and lithium-ion cells are preferred because of their high power density, long life, high energy density, and viability for usage in relatively high and low temperatures.

Battery voltage imbalance when connected in series
There is NO POINT in charging above 3.550Vpc and even that will settle to 3.500 in < 1 hour. The working voltage curve is 12.0V - 13.6, Voltage below 2.900 and above 3.500 only represents roughly 5-7% of total overall capacity and the SOK batteries tend to be actually a little high in cell capacity to guarantee you get the 206AH as …

I believe it''s actually total correlated imbalance of 700mV so one of the nearly-balanced cells can be higher than 100mV from the unbalanced cell compensated for by another neatly-balanced cell a bit under 100mV from the unbalanced cell. 100mA is a huge imbalance.
