I've been playing with RC batteries long enough to trust my own eyes and I'm confident I can do the actual monitoring myself with more certainty than just leave the pack to be managed by some BMS. Or worse, miniBMS that just does the top balancing with very little monitoring. I really look forward to trying out the bottom balancing. The whole method is really beautiful in it's simplicity.Toni Palménhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137134355406049739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065249958925006388.post-23881952833622593152013-03-26T01:46:20.901-07:002013-03-26T01:46:20.901-07:00Sounds good to me!

The funny thing about BMS people is that when you present this to them and they start coming up with counter arguments they never have any data to back up their claims. So far I haven't seen a single data set showing cell drift or self discharge that didn't have a BMS connected to the pack. It's all just universally taken as granted. Oh, they do refer to some super secret research material they claim to have seen, but of course they can't tell you about it.jsantalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711677346363688402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065249958925006388.post-42713456907515214372013-03-26T01:39:04.980-07:002013-03-26T01:39:04.980-07:00I'm definitely going to try the bottom balanci...I'm definitely going to try the bottom balancing route myself, when I finally begin my own conversion in June/July. I'll be monitoring the cells myself regularly and when I do, I'll definitely report all my data.Toni Palménhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137134355406049739noreply@blogger.com
