Hey #Electronics #Batteries
So I'm a bit unclear on something with a #18650 #BMS - specifically, a 3s6p 12v battery pack with integrated BMS, that arrived with two pairs of Red/Black wires coming out of it, one with a barrel jack and the other just wires, and zero explanation, this is clearly an "obvious" situation to people with the slightest bit of experience.
Have also ordered an appropriate 12.6v charger, once I sorted out what was required there. Waiting for it to arrive, have not used the battery pack yet. This is intended for a Pi5 with a HifiBerry amp in a "Ghetto Blaster" type configuration, for use during yard work and other mobile audio needs.
What I'm wondering is, if I've got it running on batteries, and I plug the charger in, is that safe? Will it recharge the batteries while continuing to supply power to the device in a smooth fashion? Or do I need to acquire another UPS-type board to add to the innards?
