I have a friend wants to do a ~12v 300ah pack for his van. Whats the simplest to configure ~200A BMS to recommend?

I want to run a high current motor for 5-300 seconds, within the C rating of the cells. Lets say 100AH cells @ 3-5 C, so a 500A spike then maybe 150A continuous, with the odd ounce higher. That means a BMS that can handle 500A. This is easy with a Solenoid, difficult with a FET setup. Who...

Has anyone tried the MEAN WELL NPB-1700-48 I have some industrial experience with Meanwell and their stuff is bulletproof. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/NPB,NPP-E.pdf I had an AIMS 25A 48V charger, and it was terrible. Super noisy cooling, very hot and always pulling back to <50% charge...

Due to space constraints, I'm considering stacking 8 Eve (or similar) cells on their sides and stacking vertically. 2 towers of 8 = 16 cells = 48v system. Has anyone a) Run their cells sideways? b) Stacked 8 high? I figure the stacking is the same as compression. That should be fine...

On alternator disconnect due to BMS opening (or other reason), the inductive voltage spike kills rectifiers, regulator and other things. 48v nominal has no protection devices on market. One solution is hard wired lead acid in parallel, but 4 batteries is heavy. What about a ~100V supercap...

I have a 48v nominal system. Real voltage is up to 56v or more. I have real trouble finding Large Fuses (class T is ok) Small Fuses (some glass are ok) Large Switches (none so far, only solenoids) Circuit Breakers (several types) That are rated for 60v DC What is your experience? Fyi. I had...

48V system. 56V 160A APC alternator. WS500 Regulator. 200AH Winston cells. Running at ~160A during commissioning, when, we think, the 200A Class T Blueseas fuse opened. Took out the alternator rectifier diodes (internal) and the WS500 regulator. Also opened the 15A ATC fuse to the regulator...

How critical is the current Shunt input? Anyone tried to get the Shunt current info Input via CANBUS from Victron? (yeah I know, crazy)

Can the REC Q IO output directly drive the Kilovac? The instructions are unclear on how the IO ports should drive and their capacity limits. Pins 4/5 are "internal relay" No more information than that. Thanks Paul
