    Something is draining my pack

    Ok, is it my AIMs converter/charger or the Daly 150a BMS w/fan discharging my cells? It has to be one of the two. I’m currently building 2 golf carts; one 36v standard and the other a 48v limo style, 6 pass. The latter cart (48v) I’ve had fabricating to do and paintwork so the battery pack I...

    Just ordered a new to market BMS

    Same makers as Xiaonang/JDB/Overkill but they aren’t using mosfets. Comes in 200a only with a contactor for discharge up to 20S. I opted for “express shipping” which they claim means less than 15 days after their 4-5 day processing. They state that you can cancel or alter your order inside the 5...

    I want to build a "hurricane ready backup"

    The ultimate goal is to be able to replace my gas powered generator that is only for storm-caused power outages. Now that I have built myself 48v li-ion batteries for my golf cart, and happen to have about 4.5kWh "extra", plus the battery I just built for the cart from the Samsung SDI 94Ah...

    Tell me why I wouldn't want my BMS to balance?

    ....when not charging. Notice the rest of the title's sentence. So I'm using the Xiaoniang BMS (BHU/Overkill Solar) and I have the option of "charge only" for balancing. I'm wondering why I would check that option? Is it not good to have the BMS balancing when the Golfcart (in my case) is...

    Yikes, he's going to try to build a battery?!

    So, I'm not really smart, but I'm also not too dumb. I've decided I want to build a 36 volt LiPO battery for my golf cart. I'm thinking, actually, I'll build 3 12volt batteries and put them in parallel, in the event I decide to upgrade it to a 48 volt system. But that's off topic, so forgive...
