What's The Best BMS? (Grrrr... ?)

[Freep]

The point is that a smart charger is all you need.

This is my point.

Depending on your application.

It is almost to the point where it's cheaper to buy more batteries to keep the amps down instead of buying expensive equipment to deal with high amps.

That approach is working well for me.

That was my goal LOL.

what did you settle on?

I don't have one in the traditional sense. I rely on my all-in-on to provide High Voltage Cut Off and LVCO. Both parameters are able to be set in a custom battery profile. I know it works on the bottom end because I have had the system shutdown due to LVCO. The solar side is still a work in progress. Sunny days I've only hit about 56.8 or so volts. I have yet to see 57.0v were the actual cuttoff is set.

I use a stand alone 2 amp active cell balancer to keep my cells in balance.
