Seems like there is a link on this site for a box to put the lithium batteries in. Can not seem to find it. I am building two 24 volt batteries that I will hook together to make a 48 volt battery to run a golfcart. Of course a golf cart often will have 160 amps for vary short durations. The BMS on the forum has a 100 amp max. I guess I could by pass the bms when running the motor. The box is really what I am trying to find now to store the 16 cells.

Happy Breffast!
This is complete folly. Get a BMS capable of higher current.
Thanks, Often with golfcarts and EV the high amps are in a very short duration. The cart will run at 30 amps then when accelerating peak at 150 amps for a very short duration, a second or two. The batteries are rated for continuous Amps. But your right, easy to just get a 150 amp BMS. If I decide not to build my own, the specs on the batteries in relation to handling short duration high amps is confusing.

I would consider bypassing the BMS for the discharge path.
Use a battery protect that is switched by the bms to control the high current path.

Nice, the specs define that 30 seconds is the interval between long and short time durations.

Sorry what?
You got me the answer I needed. Thank you.

I'm curious to know what you were talking about.
