dequinox
10 kW
So I have quite the quantity of 18650 cells, and I'm trying to build my first 8S8P battery from them, and I'm not in it to spend over ~$20 on a bms, but it is also the simplest solution for my wife to charge her bike. Plug & Play.
I'm looking for a state-side warehoused option from ebay, amazon, etc that will work with your typical li-ion 18650's voltage, but I'm not familiar with BMS and haven't been reading up on the latest & not-greatest for some time. The point is I'm trying to get this project by on a shoe-string, and could use some input if other people have done the same.
I did find this on amazon, which I consider a reasonable price, but you'll notice it's 7S "24 volt" and not 8S. 8s because, well I'm replacing lead acid 24Vs and want it to be a little on the zestier side at 30.4V nominal.
Any help would be appreciated!
