I’ve got a Supower 12s BMS, but my escs don’t behave well on 12s, so i’m running 8s now. Is it possible to use just 8 balancing lines instead of all 12?
It seems like the design is repetitive, and the 12s board i’m using has 13 lines, only the 13th is not connected.
Don’t.
The balancing part of the board may look and be repetitive but there is more than balancing in a bms. And if you wire the positive or negative leads of the battery or the charger you will either put the bms into some kind of protection state (under voltage I assume) or more probably fry or smoke something
Nah, my 2 vescs went up in flames first time i tried 12s, without any load, while i was standing in place. Didn’t like them before that either, too weak for offroad, never know when they throw a fault or overcurrent.
I’ll get a vesc when it can handle at least 100 amps and doesn’t use that cursed DRV8302.
FVT 120a, POWAAAH!
