So, my project is a little tight in space. Just like Vanarian I'm building electric rollerblades, but thought it might be useful for everyone as it would save money for everyone IF it works.
Since VESC has discharge protection, we don't need the BMS for riding, only for charging.
My idea for charging and balancing the cells is to modify a 36V power brick with a BMS and instead of the normal 2 wire cable would use a 9 wire JST plug for 8S or a 11wire for 10S
This would save a lot of money since you can use a 10A BMS instead of a 100A BMS and save a lot of space inside the board/blade.
So, am I missing something here? why wouldn't it work? Or is it just not worth it?
