Hi all.
I have two packs of batteries 36 V each, since I wanted to use them both in my bike I first connected both in paralel at the discharge side but then I thought it was not a good idea since one pack might be charging the other.
I then disconnected the discharge and put a 2p 2t switch to discharge one and then the other, but kept connected the charge side.
In this configutation both packs discharge at the same time regardles of the switch position.
First question. Would this configuration be OK ? since one pack is charging the other but through the other BMS ?
Second question. In case it is not OK, would it be wise to eliminate one BMS and just solder the second battery pack to the first so as to make 10 groups of 8 batteries instead of 10 groups of 4 ?
Thank you very much.
