Overkill BMS alternative

[skipdup]

I'm starting my 2nd battery builds (two 300AH 12v Eve cells).
My first battery was a 230Ah 12v with an overkill bms.
Just went to buy two more overkills (since I already understood how to use) and they're out of stock.
Can anyone recommend what BMS I should get (and where)?

Thanks!!!

If you're happy with the Overkill check out JBD, otherwise have a look at JK.

I've had good experience with JK BMS in the past year and half or so.

My first DIY builds were with JBD BMS (Overkill). While the JBD/Overkill is a pretty capable BMS, I just love the JK's active balancing. Makes life alot easier.
Although maybe a bit more more expensive than the JBD, I think it's worth it.

Do note that some forum members had some reliability issues with early "heated" versions of the JK. I don't use/need heated batteries, so I don't have any experience with those models.

As with any Chinese product, you should oversize it and not push it to its limits.
