So, roughly three years ago I wrote up my build, a 5303, Kelly controller, and a 84v 9ah (21s3p) battery built from Milwaukee 28v power tool battery packs (These ones, they're 7s1p 3ah E-moli LiMn cells). I bypassed the BMS for discharging and used the BMS and the Milwaukee chargers for charging. Over time, the flimsy little BMS's have died out, and I've kept the batteries juiced by putting the cells in parallel and allowing the BMS/charger to (slowly) charge and balance increasingly-large packs. Well, this spring, I've come to find that my last BMS won't work. I need another way to charge and balance my cells.
So, what are my options? I'm on a budget, and I really want to completely ditch the finnickey Milwaukee charger/BMS technology. Does anyone sell a good LiMn charger? I'm not averse to building something myself, but I'm a chem e, not an EE, so I'd need schemata to go off.
Thanks
