I'm in the research stage of my build and I'm planning on running 100V to a x5305 crystalyte motor. I am also planning on buying 60 headway 38120s running 2 packs of 30 in series. Now im in search for a bms. I really wanted to buy a zephyr, but that thread seems to be dead, and the link is broken. I was planning on running 2 16 cell bms, but only using 15 of them on each board, and since the other 30 are in parallel with these they should be fine without them. Is there any other bms boards you would recommend for this situation?
Also, would only 30 batteries in series be able to provide enough current to not limit the bike too much, instead of 60? The only reason I said 60 is because I wanted to alter the controller to be able to provide more current.
EDIT: Found out that the 38120HP cells can provide 200A, this way i can provide enough current without having to run 30s2p. This cuts the weight in half and about 2/3 the cost too! Any reason I shouldn't go this route?
