I just bought some balancing boards for a Bluetooth speaker project and realized after the fact there are two different equilibrium current options. I bought both the 2S and 3S versions as I haven't settled on how much voltage I want to supply to the speaker amp yet.

Needless to say I bought the 300mA version and my pack is only around 3000mA. Two questions, first is "what is equilibrium current"? Second, can I use this board with my project or do I need to get the 100mA version?

Equilibrium current: 100mA, suitable for 2000-4000mAh battery pack

Equilibrium current: 300mA, suitable for 8000-12000mAh battery pack

2S 3S 4S Li-ion Lithium Battery 2 3 4 Cell Charger Balance Circuit Board 100mA 300mA 4.2v Battery BMS Charging Balanced balncing

Thank you, Martin

The 2nd problem is that decent pdf data sheets are required and not some reputation-challenged selling site that probably won't have a data sheet and sell stuff that is sourced from non-reputable manufacturers. \$\endgroup\$

In this case, equilibrium current is balance current. This is the amount of current that will be bled from a cell that is over the balance point. In order to reach balance in a reasonable amount of time, larger packs need to be balanced at higher current levels.
