So we are designing a BMS; and need a few batteries for testing and prototyping.
So our battery pack will be 16 LiFePO4 cells.
giving us a max. voltage of 58V.
My question is when charging this battery pack; what is the necessary voltage of the charger???
if the voltage of the charger is lower than that of the battery pack it won't charge, what could happen if the voltage of the charger is much higher like around 200V for example.
furthermore if I'm just using two cells for prototyping what voltage would the power source have to have in order to charge just two cells giving us a voltage of 7.2V
And lastly during charging what is the amount of current which will be passing through the batteries????
Thank you all.
