BMS for Headway self built pack

[Spacey]

Thinking about buying these Headway Cells from this uk site (as am in Uk):

I run a 36v 15ah ping but only use 9ah getting the 14.3 miles to work, but would like some more amps to be used for the hills as I think I push the ping a bit too hard with the 900W Cylcone kit.

Was thinking about building a Heady 48v 12AH pack but have no idea on the BMS I would need for this sort of pack?

Any ideas or any cheaper cell sellers in uk?

Just wanted to add that I would be buying the cells and building the pack myself as his ready built packs are a bit pricey compared to doing it myself.

Many of the 10Ah headways only have 9,x Ah under driving conditions. (It usually gets worse after a few hundret cycles, but thats the same with all brands)
You better stick to the 12Ah variant or search for 40160 16Ah cells.

BTW: wrong forum for a BMS question...

Hi Spacey,

although I have no direct experience of the Headway cells...I would definitely recommend Eclipse as a company. I have used them several times for my Cyclone stuff and they have always been spot on...unlike some of the dodgy UK ebay sellers of Cyclone. The owners name is Rob and they are based just outside of Newcastle (Ponteland)
