<br>
I’m wondering if minimum charge amps for lithium is common or not?<br>
<br>
Or does it have to do with the cell shape: cylindrical vs prismatic vs pouch?<br>
<br>
A client purchased some EG4 batteries and they are getting a bit out of balanced. Tech support didn’t suggest higher volts or longer absorb but did mention they need 30-50 amps charge. It’s not in the manual. <br>
<br>
Wondering what you all think and know<br>
<br>
Thx<br>
