hope this helps

This buck converter idea seems interesting. I’ll have to make sure that there are safety mechanisms in case of bms failure.

you set the max voltage and it will cut off for you. Dont trust BMS. I love the buck it does not come with a case and you can use and old pc power supply or better would be old serve supply used what you have on hand bro. I can charge my battery in 30 mins. The buck cost me less than $30
