Hello! This is my first post so I apologize in advance if it’s the wrong category.
About 5 years ago I build a budget board using enertion parts and some hobby-grade batteries. It served me well for a year but then I got a car and haven’t touched it since. During this quarantine, I’ve decided to get it out again and see if I can resurrect it. A lot has changed in the Esk8 community since I completed this build and I am looking for some advice on what to do with my battery system.
When this board was in use I used a balance charger to juice up the Lipo’s but I have since lost it. I have two 3s batteries in a series and am trying to find a better way to charge them. When I used to charge them it was a real pain take them out of the enclosure I made and put them back after charging. I am thinking that a BMS is my best solution, but I am really confused about which one to buy and how to install it. I have a tight budget and basically want to know whether I should just buy another balance charger or try and go the BMS route. Any help would be appreciated
Here is a picture of the board in its current state. If you have any other budget modifications I can do to make it better please let me know Thanks!
