Hi,
I have ordered 4 3.2v 310ah lifepo4 cells for use as a camper van leisure battery.
Because of space constraints, ideally I would like to split them in to two groups of two; so join two cells together with bus bars then join them to a second group with cables about 50cm in length.
I would then use a single bms to manage all the cells as a single battery.
I realise the cable could cause a volt drop so hoped by oversizing it significantly could eliminate any problems, the volt drop could be less than 0.5%
I realise that this wouldn’t be an ideal situation, but is it doable?
I also thought about a separate 6v bms
For each pair of cells, but couldn’t find anything suitable.
Your advice and thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
