Overcharged batteries.. how can i drain them?

[nocturn4l3030]

I have some AW LifePo4's that I overcharged.. usually when stacked, they read 6.7 offload, but right now they're reading 7.0-7.1 offload

is there any way to lower the voltage with my multimeter or anything? or should I just vape like normal?

advice needed >.<

7 volts is the main problem, otherwise you could devise a way to light a bulb and let it burn off the excess charge down to the voltage you need. 12v auto bulbs will do it as will any incandescent 100v bulb. You just need a resistance across the poles to drain some power. I'd try a 12v auto bulb and devise a way to connect the wires ... maybe a battery holder of some sort.

Bulbs might be better than blowing an atty. I'm not familiar with those batts, just spouting generalized info.

thanks for the info dave. hm, i have a couple HV atomizers i have lieing around that i don't care much for that i can use to lower the voltage..

i guess another concern of mine is.. is it dangerous in any other way because i over charged the batteries? as in, is there any risk of em blowin up? usually i'm pretty careful but totally forgot bout em this time

Over charging is NOT good for lithium based batts, it can lower the life of them or even cause them to short out ( outgas / explode ) so keep an eye on them for now .
