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!!!

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.
