You did good for a newbie. How are your batteries doing?

You are right on the money. Always add a bms. It is extra insurance. You can't go wrong with one.

You make perfect sense. One correction LBCO is critical or else you destroy the batteries. I have mine set between 3.4 and 3.6 per cell. Generic BMS' are set to 3.0 cutoff. Which is 42V. I think that is too low. The cells in the Nissan start to drift and go out of balance when you get below 3.4V...

What works for you is determined by your inverter. If the inverter gives you enough of voltage range to allow for the choice you make then it does not matter if it is a 5 6 14 15 or 16S. The Outback works up to 66 V in 48V and I think 34 V in 24V. My Conext CSW 4048 is more limited in the range...

Thank you for watching my video and asking for my opinion. I have installed the Nissan leaf and the LG Chem battery from the pacifica. The leaf battery (14S) falls within the voltage range of most inverters out there. 58.8 at 4.2 and 57.6 at 4.1 per cell. The LG Chem at 4.1 V is 65.6 which...
