Unless you are like me.. if yer in the market to buy everything is expensive the second you dont need it.. boom everything's a bargain!

Doing it as we speak cheers

Thankyou very much for above video! Very handy

Thanks for that reply you are correct actually am looking at 3.75 to 4.05 for longevity, never even occured to me where in the volt range the balancing occurs. Maybe I might be advised having a simple monitor system and taking it offline at intervals and manually balancing.. if i go brand new...

Yes.. delivery is probably 20 grand. Regarding the BMS, I think a decent 48 volt solar charger with enough panels and a high amp Bms could balance these over night without mega expense, what issues were you thinking of with the potential for spending 800 on a bms?

13s was the thinking, the mttp solar charger would charge it and if I'm honest I didnt consider the BMS would need to be anything more fancy than the one in my ebike, it was 40 quid!! Much much more research to do before shelling out I think! Lead acid would be simpler but I like the life span...

Oh, it's actually for a solar setup, this forum was fantastic when I built my ebike and hope no one will mind if I just run the numbers past someone smarter than me.

500 X 'lg m29' 18650s at £1.64 each (for sale in the uk at fog) They are 2850mah and I'm building a 48volt battery. Just over 800 quid for a 100ah monster. That cant be right can it?
