This is an important clarification given recent events. Great to hear.
what recent events?
There was another battery builder who’s name I won’t mention who had a “employee” that built a less then safe battery and when plugging in the battery let’s just say it dident go to well.
When building your own packs you know there built to your standard and not to someone else’s who may not not have as strict standards as yourself.
Not to mention the fact that the builder pretty much ghosted the buyer and disappeared from the forums.
Not to try to detract from the purpose of this thread anymore, but it also happened to a friend of mine. He returned the battery and was charged for repairs. No battery or word back from the battery maker. Same guy
The reason I asked.
Who was the builder? Hoping it’s not who I have a battery on order with!!!
I don’t want to put it out here in public but if you pm I don’t mined telling you.
Put it public, I don’t get this funny business. Some guy can easily order a battery from the @Dirt_Bag because they aren’t active on the forums. No point playing games with batteries
I’m fine with it being in public I just don’t want someone to think I’m bashing someone so I can make a profit which is absolutely not what I want to do.
do you still make batteries?
He’s currently building mine, so I assume he is. Awesome guy too!
@murdomeek yes, I do still make batteries! I will get back to your pm shortly I’ve just been a bit busy the past 2 days.
sweet! no worries
Send me a pm!
Yep, mine too. He’s been very formative with my questions and also sends pics of his progress.
First off I would like to thank everyone for the support and kind words! Second, I have been totally bombarded with pm’s in the past 2 days and I am very behind on answering them. I will get back to everyone as soon as possible. Thx
Crazy question. Is it possible to place the bms on top of the battery? If so, how much height will it add?
Thanks.
It is technically possible but it would be very difficult to organize the balance wires and because your also discharging through the bms the bms will likely generate a fair amount of heat which is not good for the cells. Hight wise it would add about a inch. I highly DO NOT recommend putting the bms ontop.
