Yes, more safety can't hurt (especially the fail-safe, or nearly fail-safe kind). I would highly recommend going with a well known and reliable BMS system though, and not try and design your own. There are hundreds available on the market already (DIY versions and marketed versions).
Did you settle on a voltage? 48V is my preferred system voltage for high power, it's a good middle ground between the wire size and system component issues of going with low voltage (very high current) and having to deal with potentially dangerous to handle DC voltages on the battery side (you can still get a shock from 48V, but not too bad). Your pack configuration will depend on the inverter you pick, but "standard" for 48V would be 14s for Li-Ion. -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
