So the way I charge my batteries is through a series battery pack, connected to a charger set at 8.4 volts and 1.5 amps. I use my 18650 batteries in a single battery mod. I have two matching pairs of batteries (samsung and brillipower). Despite only using one battery at a time while vaping, I keep the pairs 'married' by ensuring they both drop to the same voltage (usually 3.6v) before charging the pair.
For some reason, even when both batteries are at 3.6 volts, they will emerge uneven after charging in a series. The one connected to the charger through the negative side will often end up at 4.4 volts, and the one connected at the positive side at 4 volts.
Do not worry. I understand overcharging batteries can be dangerous, so for now I am only charging the pair at 8 volts, so that the higher battery does not go above 4.2v.
Does anybody understand what is happening? The pairs of batteries have always had the same voltage as each other before charging, so therefore they should be receiving the same amperage from the series charger. What is wrong here? I will inform you one of the pairs of batteries are brand new. Thank you
