Hi There,
I'm planning on making my own busbars for an S16 48V battery and a 12kW off-grid inverter. I can see that many battery manufacturers seem to have stopped placing BMS and Balancer leads directly on the cell terminals and instead, they seem to be now placing them in the middle of the busbar or at least away from the terminal?
Q1: Is that the right approach and where exactly should I be connecting my BMS & balancer leads (e.g. terminal / center of busbar / x number of cm away from the terminal etc.)
Q2: I intend to place the cells in 2 columns of 8 cells each meaning, one of the busbars will be shorter than the rest (by approx. 1-2cm) - is that OK or will that impact any of the readings for either the BMS or the balancer?
Q3: Are ring terminals the way to go or should I solder the BMS and the balancer directly to the busbar?
Q4: Are there any issues with simultaneously using a 250A Daly BMS and an active 2A balancer?
Thanks for you input!
Cheers,
Mark
