LEAF Battery Modules - Charging faster with a bigger Charger, to 4.1V this time ....

After fully discharging the AESC / Nissan LEAF 3-Module Pack this week, I charged them again, this time using an older LiFePO4 24V Charger, putting out 300W or so

Charging is 3 times faster this way

Also added a DC breaker in the middle of the pack for safety

This time, I charged them up to 41.V per half module
Everything is fine : No heat, no half module voltage going up crazy ...

1.4 kWh used for charging up to 4.1V



After this, I discharged, charged, recharged, discharged, and loosing count now ...

New step: Charge to 4.2V per half module 

LEAF Battery Modules First Discharge through a Grid Tie Inverter

After Charging these 3 AESC or Nissan LEAF BAttery Modules up to 4V per half module, I now discharge them down to 3.6V

No BMS, just a good Bottom Balancing ....
