I had looked at charge only BMS
There’s a ton on eBay, any small 10s bms will do, just look for charge current to be 2-5A
I’m fixing to get a number of charge only bestech bms modules, keep you posted
oh shit I’ll just send this spec sheet to donna, thanks!
Get the bms from besttech for charge only in bulk you get a good price
doing a bit of organizing here, i wrote down names of everyone interested and quantities they’re going after.
i’m going to markup the cells a little bit to cover financing costs, it’ll be $3.50 a cell (that’s still $0.75 less than buying retail and a 7% markup on my part).
if that makes you angry, we can internet fight about it here.
take a look and edit accordingly, please:

also got a quote for charge only bms from bestech, it’s basically $20 plus fees and shipping so probably about $25 all in:

@scepterr @Titoxd10001 @psychotiller @thisguyhere @chsknight @Mobutusan @jmasta @ARetardedPillow
60 for me pls. Thanks
ok, that was quick then.
provisionally holding 40 for @Titoxd10001 since he didn’t mention how many.
with that, all 600 cells are called for.
locked the spreadsheet for now.
Was looking for 65 or 90 cells. Damn should have mentioned that
haha add some nickel strip and some arduino spot welders?
Looks good.
may or may not be able to dip into my 150 for u, we can discuss when cells arrive
Looks good to me! Let me know when you like the funds transferred.
Okay, was planning to build a 12s5p and maybe 12s2p as well
what BMS would be best suitable with these Q30 cells for a 10s4P battery?
generally speaking, the two most popular brands are bestech and supower.
you can get a lower discharge bms on the cheap if you intend to bypass discharge and use it for charge only.
otherwise the bestech PCM-D223V1 is a popular choice:

and also the supower modules:

so i asked nkon to see if i could add an additional 200 cells to the order of 600, but they’ve raised the prices since then and also quoted me a ridiculous shipping charge so…it’s staying at 600 cells for now.
i did get a quote from a chinese supplier for $3 a cell, working on terms now.
i just may get more and hold on to them.
Has this turned into a bms group buy yet? I’m looking for a 12s I’m also looking into a monster pack soooo I have no idea what I’m doing here.
