Re: 48V system cirucuit breakers? Vs. Fuses?
I saw some similar breakers to those on Amazon.? The ones you mention below have a 50V rating.? The peak charging voltage for a 48V battery system is ~56V.? ? I'm reluctant to use a breaker

48V system cirucuit breakers? Vs. Fuses?
I'm using a 48V E-bike battery pack in a proof of concept type experiment.The battery pack is rated at 20Ah, with a discharage of 50A, and max discharge of 100A. The electric motor can pull up to

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
The distributor is General Electronics. I found them on Alibaba.com. I have attached the spec sheet. My batteries are due in to Toronto in the next day or so and when I get them I will post something

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
Hey Phil, Can you share your China source of LifePo4? That looks like a great price! If I¡¯m doing my math right that¡¯s over 800 AH at 12v? Or am I missing something? Thanks, g

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
Interesting discussion. I hadn't considered the current draw of a balancing BMS on a LiFePO4 pack. I had thought about the (slight) risk of a balancing MOSFET failing and bringing down the pack, so I

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
Thank you for the infoEverybody was telling me to just keep the bms powered all the timeI wasn¡¯t sure so I added switches to the bms power so I can switch them offSince I¡¯m usually gone a lotBut

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
To clarify, I meant you should always use the correct charger with the correct settings and not solely rely on a BMS as your only means of not overcharging on at the pack level. Individual cell
By Matt Foley · #30398 ·
Re: AGM or LiFePo4
I¡¯m not so sure that ¡°the BMS should only be used in case the charger fails¡±---if the charger fails ON, even a BMS will probably be useless to stop it. Same story for a charger that fails by

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
To piggy back on what Tom said,? Its best practice to have two means of protecting batteries. On the charge side, the charger have the correct charge profile and the BMS is secondary and should only

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
MARTIN: Since you have expertise, I hope you'll agree that the acronym 'BMS' stands for battery management system, but that what some people are referring to as a BMS is actually a battery protection

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
Some bms can be customized to have a high and low bms cut offs like the ant bms I useBut since I draw too many amps I cannot use it unless I add an external contactor (maybe one day...)So I just use

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
Martin, Thank you.? You have answered a lot of my questions.? Regarding my AGM charger, it may be even worse than "sub-optimal".? That charger finishes its charging cycle with a desulfation

Wow!? Thank you for all the responses.? I will investigate all your suggestions further.? One topic that came up but has me confused is the BMS needed for LiFePo4 batteries.? From past research, I

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
Valence 12.8V are going for $350ea at Thunderstruck. The BMS is $250. For the batteries, this seems high.

Re: AGM or LiFePo4
look at the used valence batteries, thunderstruck and others have them. they are a super value plus the bms is easy to use.

I'm in the same position, after 10 years my Trojan flooded T145s are showing 'voltage depression' rather rapidly. They will have to be replaced before next season. I'm sort of in the sane position,
