Hi Folks,

I am working on my EV conversion and I am thinking about a BMS solution.

For reasons of mechanical layout, I will have three battery packs.
I would like to have CAN output, integration with Zombieverter and low current drain when not in use as this car won't be a dialy driver.

I like the look of the Flying ADC 16 from the openinverter shop but I would need 5 and that's getting a bit spendy.

I would love to hear your suggestions. What does the panel think?


Thank you.

Andy.

Batteries/Modules used?

Good point!

The modules are from an eGolf and are Lipos (AFAIK)

Why not use the OEM E-Golf BMS that is on the modules?

The cells are prismatics.

I have looked at the wiki for the VW modules and they need to be arranged in a particular way that doesn't suit the way I want to configure my packs. That's why I am not using them.


Cheers,

Andy.

Shame, as it will now cost you quite a bit to get another BMS on there. The Flying ADC 16 is very cheap for a BMS.

Any BMS that you can rely on is easily >600 gbp
