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...
