How to calculate the maximum continuous discharge current to choose my BMS?

I’m putting together my 10s3p battery and the question arose:

How to calculate the maximum continuous discharge current to choose my BMS?

How to know if you should choose 35A or 60A or 100A etc …

From reading things on this forum I don’t think you need a discharge BMS. A charge and discharge BMS are much larger than a charge only BMS as well. A charge only BMS should be fine since the batteries don’t drift far apart if I am not wrong and if you use the battery safely and have a good cutoff, then the batteries won’t be damaged from over discharging them.

If you have a 10s3p 30q pack. You can pull 60a max. Therefore your bms should be 60a or higher

No offence, but there is a noob questions thread that is perfect for stuff like this. It would also get you alot more views and exposure.
