I am building two batteries each consisting of 4 strings of sixteen 280 amp hour cells. Each battery will power a Torqeedo cruise 10 outboard motor which will push a 35' trawler. It will be a solar electric boat. Mostly an electric boat, since 80-90% of the electricity will come from shore power.
This is why I am interested in Orion. I need a really reliable BMS. In fact I will need 8 of them.
I saw a posting on ebay for a Orion 1 Jr for $200. Or 6 or $180 each. They are new in the box.
I have ready many of your postings and I think I remember that you are running the original version. Any thoughts about using the original version for less than 1/3 the price?
Also, thanks so much for all the advice you have so generously shared on this forum.
