    Help! Newbie to battery packs and BMS could do with some advice please!

    Agreed Nealh. If i do go the new battery route, i think i'll take your advice and go for a Lifepo4 of roughly the same Ah rating...at about half the cost, it would be madness not to IMO. Thanks very much for your help, it's very kind of you all. Cheers.

    Help! Newbie to battery packs and BMS could do with some advice please!

    It's another option to think about soundwave, thanks for the suggestion. It would certainly be the cheapest option, but it's getting the right physical sizes that will fit into the existing battery pack box that will be the problem i reckon...still, something to think about though! Cheers.

    Hi Soundwave, Thanks for your replies. They definitely are 18650 cells, i have had a fair amount of experience with this type of cell, but in vaping circles rather than battery packs. They look a bit fatter due to the angle of my poor photography i suspect. I did worry the cells, or at least...

    Hello all. I've been reading quite a bit about Lithium-ion battery packs and their associated BMS / Balancing PCB circuits. I've recently inherited a mobility scooter (i know it's not an e-bike, but i'm assuming the principles behind the battery packs and the BMS boards are the same), which...
