With adapting a higher voltage for use to charge lithium (as an example say dc to dc charger that outputs 14.8 volts), do you just cut charging when the source hits 14.0? When do you allow the charge to start back up?

Thanks
No matter what charging voltage you use, charging must stop if a cell reaches 3.6v, no other way to avoid cell damage. No matter how many times you ask the answer is still the same :lol: If you are not controlling max charging or discharging by monitoring cell voltage you are playing Russian roulette with your battery, your guess is as good as mine so you pick a number ;)

:lol: We were in the mid 40*C in the workshop a week or so back, we have only been here 12 mths and Feb last yr we saw 47*C in workshop at 11am while I was on a Webinar link with a company in the US. They had just made a comment that 40*C was far hotter than anywhere their units might be used apart from the middle east, I replied it was already 47*C and hadn't reached mid day yet and we sure aren't in the middle east :lol:

There have been a few TV ads using this example of the heat in the Aust outback, one cooks a steak on a shovel and the latest cooks a fried egg on the mudguard of the car trailer.... it does get a tad warm out in the sun 8-)
