Please Guide me.
I have many 18650 cells which I want to test with IMAX Charger/Discharger. While Charging and specifically to test the mAh/power while discharging I have to connect a single cell. It is time consuming and I have to be attentive.
To overcome this problem, I bought a black colour- simple battery holder for 4nos. 18650 cells, XT60 connector pair, 4S cable, 14AWG wire. I plan to creat a Lipo-type charging connection and balance cable connection. It will help me not only to simultaniously charge 4 cells but would be useful for Discharge, Balancing purpose. My questions are :
1) Am I correct in this thinking or is it unusable?
2) DO I NEED A BMS OF 4S TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT OR DIRECT CONNECTIONS TO IMAX CHARGER WITHOUT BMS IS OK?
Please answer these quiestions. Any experienced suggestion is greatly appreciated.
