it is safer to have discharge bypass…speaking from experience, i legit flew because of discharge bms cutout on me, i don’t even full throttle any of my non bypass board anymore
I’ve opened the dead batteries from @ridiculed and came to the conclusion, that the stock BMS doesn’t even balance with a few other battery builders.
It seems to fail somewhat regularly from what I’ve seen here.
@xsynatic I advised @Kev for a discharge BMS because there will be no under discharge protection.
For us DIYer’s with vescs it’s not a problem, because the vesc protects the battery from being drained too much. But I don’t know how a shitty lingyi handles this. And I don’t expect from a regular non tech guy to monitor his battery pretty much every time he goes riding.
I will try to fit in a charge only llt for one of the batteries of my friend and have already told him of the risks. He now has to check battery voltage when riding, so he won’t drain the battery past it’s limit.
I don’t know for sure, that’s why I recommend a discharge BMS.
If in fact the China escs do cut the power, a charge only BMS will be completely fine ofc ^^
A friends Hurricane, brand new, was cutting out on him also. He said he connected a different battery and no more cutting out and eventually received another battery from Meepo and ran fine with both/either. I ordered an LLT. Factory BMS is 53mm wide and LLT is 65mm. With a little work it should fit and going to put the BT module outside the battery case.
