Hello Ryan I still get the list and read it from time to time but I haven't posted in a while. As I'm almost 70 now I do a lot of reflecting back to when I started my EV adventure with golf cart batteries and a Curtis controller. Things have changed a lot over the years we can now get an amp hour

One of my problems with the setup that I have is that the Contactor is for both driving and Battery Charging, so, the Contactor ends up being ON almost all of the time. The Mini BMS Modules that are on these batteries, work by breaking a loop circuit. Any time the voltage is above 3.6V or below 2.
