You must have been awfully bored, living under that tarp for all those years! ;-) > I purchased 16 Calb CA60ah cells which fit well in my existing battery > boxes. So if my math is right, ~3.4 kWh. That's the equivalent of about four T-125 golf car batteries (useful capacity 900Wh each). I'm thinking this is going to be a short-range truck, and probably short-lived batteries from working so hard. > I do not have any BMS installed, but on such a small pack with good > access it is easy to be my own BMS As long as you don't get busy with something else and forget. I know of a guy around here who destroyed an entire set of rare and expensive Saft STM5- 180 NiCd batteries when he forgot he was charging them. I wouldn't even do an E-bike lithium battery without a BMS. But that's me, and I know how forgetful I can be!
