hi there, i am looking to build a pretty low profile board, but i cant decide on how i want to do the battery pack. I was thinking of do 5 2s packs and wire in series to get a 10s pack. and as 2s packs are pretty small they wouldn’t stick out much from the bottom of the board.
The problem with this is how I would charge all the batteries, as charging 5 batteries separately doesn’t really appeal to me. I have looked at BMS’s but I cant seem to find any 10s suitable products.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could charge them all together or in two smaller packs?
Maybe 2 packs of 5s3p and wire them in series when you are on the board, then when you aren’t unplug them and charge. Or just do one 10s3p and get a bms from supower
other option is like you suggest charging 2 packs seperatly (one 4s + one 6s) with a balance charger like an imax b6.
therefore connect the packs in series and wire the balance cables together to get a 4s and a 6s pack.
also, i known its not related to this topic but is it bad to run a motor at its max voltage, say 10s battery with 10s motor when battery is fully charged?
I would strongly advice you to look at @whitepony builds. They are ultra slim. And he always has good photos of his builds so you can figure out the layout. He doesn’t use BMS because good cells usually do not drift at all. Seriuously, read his build threads.
