Hi
I want to make up a battery pack that has some form of battery management on it but am not sure Which route to take, an off the shelf BMS or build a LVC/HVC setup with no balance capability’s.
The circuit I could make would have a plug in display for visual reference of the cell voltage and some way of balancing the cells with an Rc charger if needed.
One of the reasons I ask this is I just had a battery pack with BMS (from China) that worked ok cut out sooner than I would have expected as one cell had gone bad and it did not look like there was much balancing going on.
I would also be able to add or remove cells without too much difficulty unlike with the BMS I have at the moment that is cell number specific.
