lithium battery power on lifestand LSC?

[jehan]

GREAT NEWS!

Shirley's PL8 arrived this morning… Took only about a week by post… That's amazing… And it's running firmware 3.34

Uploaded BMs preset and all eight cells came up immediately.

I haven't charged it yet… will Try charging it tonight.

Thank you so much to everyone… This is such a great solution

THE 100ah preset is set to

Charge voltage – 3.6 V
balance start voltage - 3.5 V
Termination – 175 MAH
CV timeout – 8 hours

Shall I try this?

[Burgerman]

Yes.
After a few charge and usage days/cycles, you can fine tune the settings.

CV Volts 3.550.
It should end after balance completes plus around 20 to 40 mins. Not critical really but... By adjusting the termination current you can get it as close to perfect as possible. Increase it to shorten time taken. Decrease mA instead to make it stay at CV longer. Theres no way to guess this. It varies by packs.

Just a quick update…

Everything is working fine with the new charger…

I don't seem to be using much battery... Or at least it feels that way… I'm up to charging every four days now… And it took 22ah … Feels like I could easily double that to eight days… But I will try next charge in six days

I was having a great time with the programming and dialing out all the delays … Until a few days ago I stopped being able to connect…Comms INACTIVE

Have tried another USB port, set the driver to 3.2.0.0 , like previously, change the comm port to the new one… And still unable to connect… Any suggestions?

Thanks for everything, it's been such a huge quality of life improvement....Between switching to lithium and being able to program the VR2

Have a good weekend

Opened up The Neutrik socket… And found the white wire disconnected from the solder

[Burgerman]

Easy to fix.

If soldered properly extremely hard to disconnect it without some very meaningful force or repeated bending back and forth. To snap a wire. Solder doesnt come unstuck as such. So very strange.

woody made it up and sent it… It's been working fine for ages.…

I'm guessing this is the drawing that woody made it to.

Mine has three wires… Black, red and white… The white one is not connected to anything… Should it be?

[jehan]

Can't find the diode anywhere inside the Neutrik plug

[jehan]

WOODY'S CABLE WAS FINE… THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT… IT'S A TWO WIRE CABLE… RED AND GROUND

The problem was with the joystick cable to the VR2 controller.... Once we replaced that… COMMS ACTIVE... Like normal.

I am definitely gonna have a great weekend

Thank you!
