My initial plan was to use the Adaptto with their BMS board. And let that Adaptto BMS handle it all. Then I got a tip for another controller w/o BMS but with a price tag so low it kind of feels like I need to give it a try. And if I swing for that low cost controller I will need another BMS. The pack is 20s4p.
I would like the BMS to handle bulk charge as well as balancing. The best solution for me would be a solution where I can charge without thinking of balancing, with no need to disconnect any wires or to split the battery pack. Just plug in the charger and forget it.
Because that is my impression of the Adaptto BMS so I would be looking for something similar. Is there any solutions like that let me wire up once and forget about it after?
Those BMS I have looked at don't have the JST-XH plug - and that would really help keep things simple. To tell the truth some of the BMS picks in here is kind of scary looking. With insane amount of wire coupled to a BMS. Connecting all that without burning the house down is a challenge I am sure of. But connecting a few JST-XH harnesses I can do. Any tips for good quality BMS that one can depend on over and over?
What is consensus for LVC and HVC for hobbykings LIPO's? Long lasting battery pack is the goal, so conservatives numbers are OK for me. It seems 4.15v seems to be the general idea for HVC, correct? What about LVC?
