Those look interesting with their software adjustability. I’m not positive but I think they are rather pricey.
And you will have to buy the optional computer adapter to connect it.
If your just staring out, 10s is probably a better choice seeing that it is easier to manage the power than 12s.
One benefit with the bms that I use is that it has a built in E-switch saving you at least $45 that you would spend on an external E-switch.
And some of it’s parameters are adjustable as well. Only you have to request them when you order it and they are set at the factory.
Also i was wondering if i could get secure enough and high enough amp connectors that i could plug all the cells together, was thinking i could then unclip to replace cells or make plane legal.
There was a long thread on here about plane legal cells and my understanding is, if they are standard off the shelf cells, correctly rated and under 100kw they are fine, so thinking 5 of these cells once separated would be okay.
do you think bullet connectors of the type used on the battery work for this?
I would trust the 5.5mm bullet connectors for an application like that. They are heavy duty and fit together tightly and they don’t come apart with vibration.
They work well with heavy gauge silicone wire like 12ga and 10ga
And they do not add a lot of bulk to your wiring as other connectors will.
So they might actually let me buy the 10s and 12s as a minimum order and it could still work out cheeper? that’s worth knowing, i don’t really want another board to programme in any case, although the battery level info on the HCX-D328 sound cool.
Except, you need to monitor battery level while riding. How you gonna do that with LED’s on the bms that you can’t see.
Better to have an inline meter mounted through the top of your deck so you can just look down to check the battery.
Bestech sales are done through email.
Send an email to [email protected] requesting to purchase the bms module.
The minimum purchase is for 2 modules.
The cost is $49 ea. plus shipping and PayPal fee.
If you don’t want to keep the extra module, they are easily sold on this forum.
Some of the parameters are adjustable at the factory and you will need to specify your preferences during the order process.
I recommend these settings for Lipo batteries, for Li-ion you could lower the over discharge voltage detection to 2.8v
yes sir, this is the one. i just emailed her. second bms i will get 10s since majority of people on the form use 10s battery packs. or i will use it for my second elongboard that i want to build if this one will come out good. thank you again for help mate
Thanks for the info!
I’m looking at getting either the exact same batteries, or these softpacks (that are only 19mm thick! ) :
As far as I can see the c-rating instead of being a solid 60c is 65~130 (weird) but overall specs seem to match the hard case packs. What do you guys think?
This is pretty cool @Namasaki . I’m thinking I need to do this as a cheaper alternative to my 10s4p samsung 22r pack that is giving me problems. I have a SuPower 10S 60a BMS (http://www.ebay.com/itm/221769582503?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) laying around. Will that work with these batteries? Do you think I can fit this same battery setup in my master cho enclosure? The internal dimensions of the enclosure is about 21x6.5x1.14 but it narrows down slightly toward to ends.
