I'm considering building a 20 Ah 8s 24v battery. This is for an electric lawnmower. Space is very limited in the battery box.
Should I get the Overkill Solar/JBD 8s BMS or is there another BMS that is closer to the 20Ah rating of the battery that I should use instead? The Overkill Solar BMS will fit within the battery box, just barely.
I'm spoiled in that I've been using the Overkill Solar 4s BMS for almost a year and it's been working great and was easy to configure and use.
The charger that came with the mower is 30v/2.0 amp. If I can use the charger that would be a nice to have. But not critical. If I use the charger, I think I would need to create a 9s battery because the 30v charge would exceed what the 8s battery can handle. A ninth battery would require a BMS that works with a range of cells not just 8s.
