How this active balancer (almost) killed my battery. We knew it, but here is the proof!
Off-Grid Garage
View ChannelAbout
Taking your house, shed or garage 'off-the-grid' is a very exciting thing to do. On this channel, I share my experience and thoughts of taking my garage offline, disconnecting it from the power supply and run it solely from solar and batteries (for teaching and testing purposes). We will do a lot of testing here on the channel, batteries, cells, BMS, electronics, solar charge controllers and even panels. I will explain how everything works in a beginner friendly way. We will also do smaller side projects to break things down and make it easy to understand. So no previous knowledge or experience necessary to build your own solar-battery system. You can get more information on my website: https://off-grid-garage.com DISCLAIMER By watching these videos, you agree: All electrical work must be carried out as per your local laws, rules and regulations. Installations and setups shown in my videos are for test and demonstration purposes only and may not satisfy regulatory requirements.

Video Description
The QSO battery is dead! No BMS, no voltage, no life!!! Something has happened to this battery while it was just sitting there, not even being connected to anything. Well... it was connected to something: the active balancer inside the battery box! Connected but not activated was apparently enough to deep discharge this battery down to 2.8V! Yeah, that's right, not 2.8V cell voltage but pack voltage? Can we still revive this battery and is it still OK to use it?
