Hi,
I have question about paralallel discharging NiMH modules. I have 40 modules and one modul consist of 6 x 1.2V cell = So nominal capacity is 7.2V.
These modules are in car connected in series. But I replaced 15 bad cells and now I need balance them. In one thread I have got good advices but in the end I need one more help. After discharging and charging process every module without load have 8.75V and I need to discharge them to 8.4V because car Computer shows error then. Can I do it in parallel? I have connected all the positives together and all the negatives together like in the pictures. So in parallel they are together like 8.75V but what is with capacity? Every module has 5000mAh capacity so its like 5000 x 40 ? Am I wrong? Can I discharge them to put some bulb betweeen all the + and all the - ??? Thank u.
