No, you dont want 23V on an 8s string, you want 25V cutout. 23V will leave your cells too low.
30V / 7 = 4.28V max per cell (this is actually too high, so you should only go to 28 - 29V max, as this will be 4.14V per cell max)
23V / 7 = 3.29V. This is the safe bottom limit for the cells. You could even go to 22V
22V = 7 = 3.14V per cell. But this would be the absolute lowest you'd want to go.
In going over 4.2V or lower than 3.2V per cell, you are shortening the life span of the cells. By going to a max of 4.1V and no lower than 3.3V, you can drastically increase the life span (charge cycles) of the cells. And we're talkin several 1000 cycles by doing this, not just 100's.
So if you can go to 7s, much better to do so and much safer for the cells.
copy that. Yes I miss interpreted it,I understand nowwhat u were trying to tell me. Thank u guys for the great feed back. I will convert my pack to a 7s. I messed myself when I was counting the # of series(what a dummy). Once again much appreciated for the great feed back. ALOHA
