What would you use for my setup?What BMS have you chosen?

I thought I might buy the cables with connectors on them. Another thing to figure out.
Thanks
What would you use for my setup?
When I checked their site it didn't have 48vI would go with the overkill.
Its pushing the limits but @OverkillSolar has tested the limits and demonstrated that he stands behind the product.
It will show current in and out and has all the desirable configurable parameters.
I guess you could try them just make sure that the low cell and low pack disconnects are configurable at runtime.When I checked their site it didn't have 48v
I don't think I need to bend the cable. And I can mount the busbars and on/off switch after the cables arrive.They'll either be too short or too long. You never really know how long a cable needs to be until you have the components in place. I put my layout into a cad drawing but had no idea how the curves of the cable would figure in. How much would a cable curve? The thicker the cable, the bigger the curve.
It wasn't cheap but I bought the tools for crimping my own cables. In the long run, it may have been less expensive to do my own. Built cables aren't cheap.
I have been checking on the JK and I think it is fully configurable and some people really like it.I guess you could try them just make sure that the low cell and low pack disconnects are configurable at runtime.
And it it doesn't tell you the current in and out you should put a shunt on each battery circuit.
It's not code, it's a pure ascii way to describe system topology.I have been checking on the JK and I think it is fully configurable and some people really like it.
I will only order one BMS at a time. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I decided not to use one.
I see you writing some code in a lot of posts. What is that?
Sure, I'll take the 10 cent tourIt's not code, it's a pure ascii way to describe system topology.
Thanks for asking.
If you are interested I can give you the 10 cent tour.
Won't it make a difference that the end terminals are farther from the center if I use 5? I plan to connect the big cable to the center.The 3 terminal should be fine but you will have to stack lugs which could complicate maintenance a bit.
Yes it will also make a difference that the lugs are stacked.Won't it make a difference that the end terminals are farther from the center? I plan to connect the big cable to the center.
I guess I might have to do some experimenting and adjusting to keep my batteries balanced to each other. I want to put another BMS around the 4 batteries.Yes it will also make a difference that the lugs are stacked.
That doesn't make sense.I guess I might have to do some experimenting and adjusting to keep my batteries balanced to each other. I want to put another BMS around the 4 batteries.
I meant another balancer around the 4 batteries.That doesn't make sense.
Do you mean shunt maybe?
I could see having 5 shunts.
1 per battery and the 1 aggregate.
That doesn't make sense either.I meant another balancer around the 4 batteries.
I always want more. But I think this is going to work great. I should be able to monitor each battery with the BMS appThat doesn't make sense either.

Looks good.A few people here use this BMS-
