So me and a friend hacked together this active BMS within a couple of nightly hacksessions
and now we're thinking about doing another few iterations and putting up a kickstarter campaign or the like
yielding in a reasonable priced open hardware active BMS.
First though I wanted to check with you and your opinions on the topic.
This is our <= 6S prototype with an at32u4 controller. It can even out the cells by moving energy from the whole pack to single
cells while loading/idle/under load. Balancing current up to 2A tested.
hooked up to a dirty 5S LiPo
with some test load to check balancing while under load
throw in your wishes/suggestions/warnings for an OpenHardware Active BMS.
