Give them time to adjust through a trickle flow. Very important for longevity of your bank.
These are very important to Lithium Battery Banks. I found 3 of these with 12-8D Lithium Ion Battery's work flawlessly after a period of 2 weeks from setup. 44,000 watts of Battery Backup.

Balances multiple 12 VDC batteries in series parallel for 24 VDC.
Works great!After about a year my 2S3P Lithium battery configuration (six 12 V batteries with two batteries in series, three series in parallel for a 24 V system) had started to get out of balance. I used three of these balancers (one for each two battery series) connected through a fuse panel and have had no battery problems for the last two years.

Equalizes all the batteries.
Waiting for an installer.

Will not efficiently work in a series configuration as noted in the manual.
As I am a fan of Victron, this is one of the items I will give a negative review for. Per the manual as well as the advertisement in the product page, this item can be used in a 48v series configuration of 4x12v batteries. It states you have to purchase 3 in order to do it and provides instructions on how to configure it. I was hesitant because 3 of them makes it about 2x as expensive as buying any of the other units on amazon that will balance all 4 batteries at once.The reason for the 1 star is because the manual does not state how battery balancing works in a 4S series. In a 2S it would work just fine. This balancer only ever balances 2 batteries. It compare each one its connected to and balances them out. Forget the incredibly high voltage required for these to even turn on. Other reviewers have already posted the negatives on that. In a 4S, you need 3 units because the first balances battery 1 and 2, the second one balances battery 2 and 3, and the third one balances battery 3 and 4. The manual would have you believe that the balancers may communicate with each other somehow, but they dont. So battery 1 and battery 3 and 4, Battey, 4 and battery 1 and 2, etc, they dont know about each others voltage. In theory this would work, but im my case, almost always this will balance 2 batteries somewhere, but the ones farthest away end up over .2v off from each other.For example, Batt 1 - 13.50v, Batt 2 - 13.58v, Batt 3 - 13.66v, Batt 4 - 13.74v. If you look, no 2 batteries directly next to each other are off by .1v or more, so balancing will never happen. Batt 1 and Batt 4 are .24v apart. I have noticed that sometimes, the voltages are so off from the left to the right side, that the voltages on the low pair dont always reach a high enough voltage to even turn on in the first place. Sometimes because of the differences, the Internal BMS of the batteries kick on and shut down before the balancers even start working.For a 2S I would recommend these. In a 4S, these are a money pit.

Works as advertised!
This thing is perfect, it balances my 2x series 12v 200ah Lifepo4 setup as expected. I did a full discharge overnight then full charge today, now both batteries are sitting at the same voltage. This will extend the battery life and ensure I get full capacity when needed.Did some initial testing with a charger to see that the LEDs would light up as expected when the delta exceeded the voltage for each battery.

Amazing! Weak Bluetooth signal but doesn’t impact functionality
Fantastic charge controller! Puts you in total control of your battery charging, maintenance, and lifespan preservation. The only thing is that the Bluetooth signal is not strong so you have to be close to the controller, but thats no big deal and maybe even a plus.

Important part of the equation
Even in a modest series - parallel battery arrangement, this is so vital. Of the components I have assembled in ...the current solar chain... this may be the most interesting (cool) device to watch work... by its very principle of operation. I feel good using this from the beginning with my fresh set of batteries, to see it balancing everything safely, while ensuring increased system utility and longevity. Tightening up the chain, counting ; in 1/10s of a volt... almost there.

Nor really a great Victron product
Like other reviewers, I’m a big Victron fan and I have a lot of their products… but this one is a clunker.I want my balancer to be active and doing its job while my batteries are floating or in storage mode, but this unit isn’t active unless the combined voltage is above 27.3V. So it doesn’t do anything after Bulk and Absorption (unless you crank the Float voltage up).It has well under an amp of available balancing current… and that’s not going to phase a battery of any decent size.And the activity LED’s don’t track my measured battery voltages, making me wonder if it is working at all.I have other units that I am happy with that cost half as much.
