On my last batteryhookup order I got a pack of A123 26650 LFP cells from medical laser treatment, or whatever. Just for fun really, I mostly process and test laptop 18650s, but LFP is good for some outdoor applications, thought they would be handy to have around.
Since all my equipment is setup for 18650s and Li-Ion, how can I discharge test these? I have an Imax B6 tester that has settings for LFP, but I don't have a good way to secure leads to the cell. Can someone recommend a method to discharge test these for checking capacity?
If I need to purchase a different charger, tester or piece of equipment, I'm just going to skip it, I don't plan of processing this size of cell or chemistry on a regular basis.
Module with 6x A123 3.2v 2500mah 26650 cells 3s2p
These modules are awesome because the case you can open with just a flat screw driver. The modules have 6 cells in 3s2p configuration and each comes with a BMS. The BMS we believe is a 10a BMS because the main wires are 16 gauge. You can charge and discharge through the BMS so it is not...
