Its very useful for its algo as it monitors the REAL cell voltage, and the real terminal voltage both on charge and off. It can then see when to really slow down, and guestimate the actual cell voltage ignoring the cable resistance and know whats happening. But if you really don't want to...

I followed a link on my stats page. this: "Avoid BMS Battery like the plague" sig, Is THE BEST ADVICE POSSIBLE. BMS caused almost every battery failure there ever is. They are universally dismally crap for a bunch of reasons! Throw them away now and learn what you are doing! Use a hobby...

You mean me? :) Take a look here: http://www.wheelchairdriver.com/BM-MK3-lithium-fast-powerchair.htm Built in a bedroom. This is shorter, narrower and lower seat than most indoor only chairs. Also 2 or 3 times faster at true 15mph, has at LEAST 45 real world miles range (45v Lifepo4 3000...

I charge and balance a 72Ah 13S lithium pack, and have done lots of algo help, and been the cause of quite a few firmware updates on the hyperions. Including the corrected PB charge algo, 36 and 48 volt addition, and much other stuff including the capacity increase from 50Ah to 100 Ah for...

It wouldnt. I need to turn on the spot, manoever indoors, turn around in a van etc. It would drastically improve total w/h per mile but isnt usable.

By definition - because its balanced, its C of G and centre of pressure are in the same spot. Or it would fall over! So it cant suffer at all from this. Whats an X2?? Added, high end powerchairs typically have 24v x 100 or 120 amp controllers, each motor. So on a ramp, curb etc they pull up to...
