Picked up a Weize 6AH LiFePO4 12V battery to use with my QRP ham transceiver. Charged it with a bench supply set to 14.6V with the current set at 2A max. Noticed the current draw is dropping to zero when the battery loaded supply was about 14.06V. To me this means one of the cells internally reached the upper limit for the BMS before the whole pack got to 14.6V.
So I'm thinking this pack doesn't have a balancing BMS. How best should I use this pack to not increase the imbalance between cells? Is there a way to get the cells in better balance without cracking the case open and either replacing the BMS or manually balancing the cells?
Thanks
