    BMS necessary for LiPo pack?

    Putting 2- 5S Zippies together in series. Using a Imax B6 charger, LIPO sack, low voltage alarms, battery pack placed inside a hard case on the bike and a Watts Up meter to monitor battery pack. Is it best to attach a BMS to the batteries too? If so, any recommendations?

    5S or 6S for at 36V EVG?

    I was thinking of stuffing my battery box with a bunch of 5s LiPos (2 each in series) but I wonder about 6S batteries instead. 6S would give a higher sag voltage and somewhat better performance, I suppose. But, are there disadvantages? Will my EVG OEM equipment handle the little higher...

    A book for Noobies on Electric Bikes!

    Is a Kelly controller a good choice?

    I have 24V and 36V set of EVG geared, brushed bikes. The 24V needs a controller that I want to run at 36V (more speed - keep everything standard.) I am a noobie to Ebike systems. Eventually, I will be adding/replacing motors with brushless geared or gearless - maybe higher voltages, not sure...

    What to I misunderstand about batteries?

    I understand that: Batteries can come with a BMS attached or not. Most batteries sold in kits that have a basic power supply AC to DC have a BMS inside the case, with the battery. Some shrink-wrapped packs, like Ping, have a BMS included, usually - I assume they only require a power supply to...
