Some factory-made electric skateboard can be charged directly from the power plug of our home ( EU in my case ).
Instead I have to take Lipo battery from the longboard and charge it with the Imax b6 charger ( or others ).
There’s a way to avoid this intermediate steps and connect “power cable” from the e-skate directly into home socket?
yes, if you integrate the charger on your eboard… or have 230v battery lol
People usually integrate Bms module (battery protection circuit) so that they can charge with just one plug, not 2 - balance cable + main plug (+ / - )
A way more clever charging would be with induction (wireless) but right now the technology is not really there yet… so it would probably be waay expensive to do this way, it would still take a lot of time and heat would be involved (wouldnt be that good for batteries, if directly translated to them)

I think it is possible to order some similar modules as b6, they are smaller and just more ‘dumb’, meaning you wont get a lot of customization, but you could easily install them on eboard and just plug in the mains cord into them, so they can do their work and convert the voltage/charge the batteries.
nope - use a 36volt laptop style charger - it converts your domestic voltage to the voltage of your battery.
The on board battery BMS (battery monitoring system, aka battery murdering system) monitors the individual cells and keeps them balanced.
I don’t know sorry - I don’t use lipos.
I think it’s been done - try the search function.
If you cut the enclosure to fit the lipo bms cable you could connect the imax bms connections straight to it and not have to remove it from the enclosure.
Search bud, I think @dunkirk did this on his vanguard build.
Though I wouldnt recommend if you havent soldered small wires before, it can be a bit messy and you need to make 100% sure you solder the right wires to the right pins.

As for the bms, from text it looks it might be okay but maybe wait till someone else jumps in.
@Namasaki will probably tell you that getting ebay bms modules is not great idea… but ok they might work, if you monitor the actual state of your batteries once in a while ( I think)
You are absolutely correct @Okami
I would never recommend using a cheap bms from eBay or any other supplier.
Especially to someone who has invested a lot of money and time building a Li-ion battery pack.
I just can’t see risking an expensive battery pack to save a couple bucks on the bms.
