The battery builders club

Nice, I think adding holes at this point would be a little risky, but the two layers will work fine

Thanks

There old batterys $10 each. I have a charger on them constantly while using and a digital voltage metre that way I can keep an eye on it as I go and keep it consistent

finally a small 12s BMS… this is the offering from @dickyho, which is a rebranded Daly 15amp BMS … 16 days from order to having it in hand!

length is ~60mm, width ~50mm, height ~11mm, weight 60 grams

I’m going to run this by-passed obviously…

yes sadly he hasn’t learned about fish paper rings and cutting nickel corners. Really cool to see DIY tech like that from them, I watch a lot of their content.

I enjoy some of their videos and when I saw the thumbnail I was really interested ! But while I am no expert in battery building, a lot of this video screams danger.

As long as you get a low discharge current BMS it should be almost as small…

13S is strangely more similar sized the the 10S than the larger 12S, not really sure why that is

Is your 13s limited to 8a discharge? That could be the reason it’s smaller

I think that 8A is charge rating. Which would make sense. I always order 15A discharge with the intention of bypassing and never gotten anything but the 15A/15A 12S ones. So I was kinda surprised when it was so small.

what’s the dimensions? Looks pretty small… Maybe 13s isn’t such a bad deal…

so if you bypass discharge you don’t rlly need separate port? because you have 2 types of those bmses

speak english son… hahaha
It still has a charge port, a balance plug, a power connector… the only difference is how one wires it all up…

above i put a bypassed diagram, here is a discharge diagram:
