Hello, I currently have 10, 24v 280ah battery banks and I am expanding to 12. I have standardized on the Overkill Solar 8s 100a BMS unit but found out recently that all these have been discontinued while they finish up their new Pathfinder BMS. Rather than wait for the new model, I am trying to find a couple of the original models. Hoping someone has a couple of these units (or variation of) tucked away and are not using that they would be willing to sell to me. Please let me know if you do and what price you need to let them go. Thanks!
 
Overkill was reselling JBD before they shifted to the Pathfinder.
They did update the JBDs and test them before shipping.
 
I have one of these running right now. It's been great from the start. JBD (Overkill) app working with it.
They have all the different flavors 4s 8s ect.
Only thing is the leads are around six inches. Had to butt splice and heatshrink mine to extend.


Edit:
Here's another option if you are willing to wait for the China shipping. It has all the toys including CAN commms.
But it's bolt on leads and passive balance. I have one of these on the way here now for another project.

Thx for all the help, I feel like the JBD alternative is the best option at this point.. Just checked out the link to the JBD unit - really good prices! Thx, again!

If you want to continue building with an "Overkill" unit which is in fact a JBD it may be your only option.

BTW the one I ordered from China was free shipping and no tax. Paid their face value that's it and just have to wait and see how long it takes to get here. I can update you if you like when it arrives.

Thanks, that would be great… I appreciate it
