Hey Guys,
Why is it ok to have a BMS located inside a closed battery pack and wrapped in PVC (heatshrink) and stuff?
It has a heatsink that is clearly not meant to be covered in plastic...
What are your thoughts?
Does the BMS get hot when in use or only when balancing?
Also, what role do the fets play in a bms? I know that for balance theres the load resistors to bleed single cell rows but why are the fets needed?
