Issues with first 18650 battery pack

OliverNoles

Hi all,

Sorry if this is not the correct forum to ask… I have assembled my first 18650 pack, however I am facing some issues with it. Before assembling it, I measured all the cells voltage and they were around 4.12V, however, after having connected all the batteries in a 4s3p configuration, when I measure the pack voltage it is at 14.2V and the cells are at 3.56V and the BMS is therefore cutting the battery. If I measure the voltage of the parallel packs(from positive to negative on each cell), the voltage measured is again 4.12V.

I am using these samsung 25r cells

Any idea of what is happening here? Is there any problem in the connections or I just have to charge the complete pack? Since the individual cells were fully charged, I am afraid of over charging it.

Regards

Oli

Hi, I’m facing the same problem, however my battery pack is 3S. Did you solve the problem, if so let me know.

Bests regards.
