I've been using my powertool batteries (Rigid 18V) to power an ebike. Been working great. The BMS in the battery acts as the LVC and everything seems to be great. The power tools themselves only use the positive and negative terminal, meaning the balancing must be coming from the battery BMS...not the tool.
I think these tools you could run both lithium OR nimh...so the tool is basically dumb. Its the batteries that have the brains. In my application this is good.
Only thing now is I'm wanting to hook the batteries in a series, to make 36V.
I'm worried the load will increase on the batteries beyond what they can handle at 36v. Or will each batteries, because they are in a series, still draw at the same load as if I ran 1x 18v?
Thanks!
