Posted June 14, 2023 Recently, I've noticed a slight decrease in charging current for my 8s LiFePO4 battery after around 7 charge cycles. The charger used to deliver 1.48A, but now it charges at around 1.45A. I'm wondering if this is a cause for concern. Could this be an issue with the charger or potentially a problem with the battery? Additional info- my charger only charges my battery upto 90% soc and then cuts off the charge hence while it might be good for the battery health, my battery is prone to disbalancing issues since some bms tend to balance the cells only when the battery is fully charged, so do let me know if that is related to this issue. I use it on my ebike so it(the battery) goes through consistent shocks and tremors and rough use. Any insights or suggestions on diagnosing the situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!"

Posted June 14, 2023 Check connectors - for example I see a couple pins not quite fully inserted into a plug in your picture. It's just a small variation in current which could be for lots of reasons, wouldn't worry that much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 14, 2023 A difference that is that small could just be caused by something like a temperature difference in the small meter etc... I bet it isn`t really precise. In short: I would basically use the last digit in a meter like this just as a guide if the current rises or falls during charging, but otherwise ignore it.
