Battery protection and battery management are different things haha

Yea, so maybe their CS need to bring more accurate info, coz they said clearly to me, the unity is also a bms and no need to use bms on battery pack.
that´s interesting⌠CS shouldn´t misslead things like this, but maybe we just wrong. @onloop can answer that question, or @okp . I think he got one test unit from the unity too. Will the unity replace the need of a bms? yes or no
Ya, let someone clarify this.
No way thatâs itâs a BMS , and I would never run batteries without one, (much less leave the responsibility to a esc). Itâs better to have Speed Contoller do speed contoller things rather than have it try to do everything . Separations of responsibility and redundancy is should be #1

Iâve been trying t figure this same thing out along with a couple others and this thread was the closest to what I was trying to find. I just blew a 10s3p 30q randomly out of nowhere that wonât charge or discharge properly (or at all anymore FML) so def want a BMS on any build I do.
I have a raptor 2 coming this week and I know they have a BMS. But I also have a spare R2 SPACE battery coming I plan to use on my main DIY builds and want a BMS, enertion hasnât been much help getting the answers I need related to this so figured the community could help a lot moreâŚ
- Since the SPACE cell from Enertion doesnât come with a BMS is it fine to use any 10s BMS?
- Is there a simple way of adding a BMS to the space cell or is the battery going to need to be disassembled, wired with BMS, reassembled back together, wrapped, and then put in heat-shrink again�
- Any BMS anyone recommends since Enertion wonât at all (really think they should cell BMS to people who buy a spare battery)
- Anyone know if the spare battery comes with an enclosure too?
Any thoughts, advice, or input is welcome.
I donât know the space cell, but if itâs a 10s than go for a bestech 10s bms like this https://eskating.eu/product/10s-bestech-bms-80a-10s4p/ Or get it directly from bestech. If no balance wires on the pack than there is no way around to open and install new balance wires. If there are than you need to figure out if the order fit to the new bms you want to use
Ok for sure. Appreciate that. I actually just remembered that Psycho wired a new BMS thatâs ready to go I havenât used yet so can use that on the R2 10s4p battery even though the bat he wired it for was a 10s3p, that doesnât matter at all correct? Thanks again!
Doesnât matter if 3 or 4 or 5p. Just the right serial counts or voltage. For you 10s
I think the spare battery comes with balance wire, but my question is if the raptor 2 already got a bms inside, why spare battery didnât. How to use the spare battery then, plug and play with the current bms (i donât think its working that way), or if itâll needed to add another bms, better to know the size of bms that would fit or find the same bms used by raptor 2? Not sure.
Nice to have one bms only and can swap battery pack. what kind of bms is that.
Hi, I have a noob question 
(so I guess thatâs the right topic)
Does all pneumatic wheel vibrate?
I tend to believe itâs due to the valve, and I tried to compensate it, but it doesnât seems to be perfect, and I since I canât make it right, I start to worries that itâs something else.
What you compensate with and what did it weigh?. I thought is was something like 1.25oz. Not sure
Yeah but your going to need a voltmeter
can you elaborate or point me toward a thread that details how to use a voltimeter to solve this? Iâve seen this response previously, but never the full explanation. Thanks for responding!
Just need to use continuity test to see which two wires are the main switch . Other wires are probably just for the switch to light up
can we use the symbols on the switch to any advantage? Once iâve narrowed it to two main switch wiresâŚwhat about the 3rd spot on the anti-spark? What does that connect to?
Sorry for the super noobness of these questions, kind of bummed by the lack of documentation from Flipsky. Guess they assume a higher level of base knowledge.
hello what do you guys think about this :https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-skateboard-conversion-kit-bundled-set-with-wheel-accessories.html should i get this ? or is it just going to break and be bad quality?
I think I read somewhere that the motor mount doesnât hold good and break fast. You wanna go single drive I guess?
the 3rd spot should be a ground. In a electronics there is a hot line, a negative line and a ground line.
