BMS and controller for Li-po

[Dias]

It's not your english, but the fact you are telling us what is possible and not possible with Lipo. The difference is, we have been using it for years and you have NO experence!

...I havent put a single statement here, I only ask about possibilities but nvm. Thanks for tips.

Hey Dias,

I'm running the same kind of idea here. I had lifepo4 big battery and it doesn't really match with my full suspended bike.
I had a look at multistar lipos and they look attractiing, beside all wjhat has been said here.
Just a hint: why not taking 2x 6s 16ah battery instead of 3x 4s batteries:

I am thining to take 18 or 24s in 3 or 4 of this kind. I will probably either take battery medics plugged or a big lipo charger.

The charger you showed look sexy (the thunder one) and will surely load with no problem these 2 packs but at 300w, - edit - with 150w, it charges 6s pack at 6amps, and 16ah will take less than 3 hours.

And you will spare a headache for the wire adapter - for a close price...

Edit (again): reading this : https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=44370
It looks like it would be hard to find a Thunder 1220 Professional...

Yep that is the system I use for 2 years now. Thunder charger and 2X16ah 22volt Multistar. So far so good. I did over D/C them once when I forgot to charge them but they seem to have recovered pretty well. Any sign of problems and I toss them and get new ones.

Hello guys. I took 3x4S instead of 2x6S because of their size. My frame is 55mm wide and 6S wouldnt fit in. No other reason to choose 4S ..Some people mentioned that these Multistar packs are "shit" and that 10C is unreal. But those are RC geeks who need these super high C rates. Their price has no competition and theyre pretty cost-effective for ebikes.

Check out using the LIlo setting. They only charge to 4.1, and very good for lipo batteries :::::: http://www.wattflyer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61060
