... Cutting through the jargon and marketing tripe here, what I read is that there is enough BMS involved to float a battleship. Thus it is inaccurate to say...
What other LiFePO4 or Lithium-ion rechargeable battery company do you know, Chalo, that provides a more complete line of Plug & Play Battery Packs "off - the -...
All I remember was David Lalonde going on and on and on about how a BMS is only needed for the charging/cell balancing stage and you don't need no steenkin BMS...
Motor controllers have a Low Voltage Cutoff built in to protect older battery chemistries from being damaged. IF you didn't have that LV cutoff in your...
You are all talking about "a battery pack" meaning a single pack of X amount of cells. When you build large scale battery systems consisting of 20 -50 battery...
... I don't know, and I'm not sure whether it matters. I have no problem with BMS per se, as long as it's cost-effective and doesn't spend too much of the...
Exactly - Only people like AndersonJ want to argue this point. Theoretically it's possible on a Cell level, like Joshua has already pointed out. Realistically...
The BPM doesn't limit DOD, it responds to the VMS TTL signal, which is programmed in the VMS firmware. A well balanced LiFeBATT pack should give 100% capacity,...
Realistically it is a fool's errand to try and achieve 100% DOD. But ... Here is a quote from your post on November 8 A LiFeBATT battery pack or packs can go...
Harmon keeps referring to multiple packs whereas everyone else here refers to multiple cells that when combined form a single pack. Gets confusing sometimes. ...
That's true. Single Pack doesn't need a BPM. LVC can be built-in to single pack. Multiple packs need a cat herder (BPM). Also a BPM is not a substitute for...
... It was not you but Joshua who said that 100% discharge could be done with LiFePO4 packs, and andrsnj1 who said that it should be standard operating...
Thanks Chalo - we finally meet on a common ground ! J Don From: power-assist@yahoogroups.com [mailto:power-assist@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of chalocolina ...
All rechargable battery chemistries have an operating voltage range.. and all are damaged if over-discharged. LiFePo4 cells are fully charged when up to 3.6v...
... Ok. Then what is the maximum amp hours that I can get out of your "10 ah" cell/pack with your low voltage cut-off and your cat herder while discharging to...
You really don't want to get into a *John Schuyler* kind of thing here by quoting old posts from someone who sounds like they're singing a *new* tune now do...
I'm just asking simple questions, and getting evasive answers. This just re-inforces my decision to build a smoke belcher. Who is John Schuyler? I'm not...
Dear people, I have thought a little improvement for my SLA batteries: Connect in parallel with them a large-capacity electrolytic capacitor, let's say 5000 uf...
... It's impossible to imagine people voluntarily limiting themselves to 200w. It's much easier to imagine governments limiting them to 200w, which is what...
... I just threaded the sprocket on, using the highest strength thread locker I could find, followed by the lock ring, making it as tight as I could without...
Select a battery pack that can satisfy your longest anticipated range with a DOD down to 40% *meaning you've used 60% of the rated capacity*. By doing this,...
John Schuyler was a guy who loved to spend all day searching archives to find contradictary posts made by current enemies that he could throw back in their...
The point is that just about everyone contradicts themselves. It's no great feat to search out older posts from yesterday, last week, or last year to prove it....
You'd think that (I did too) but the Europeans/Brits have this strange need to obey the Law. Best I can figure is the Importers follow the 250W Legislation and...
It's actually not that hard to understand. A good number of the people in Europe today are the descendants of those that could stay and follow the rules. A...
Dan, Are you using a rear hub Crystalyte 408 motor to drive the crank? All my seies 400 motors are front wheel drive. I will have to find a way to modify a...
