Shortcircuit
1 mW
How to decide whether I should go with 16s BMS or 17s BMS ? I'm using 2900mah Li ion cells . I have a
used e scooter with 60v controller in it

You need to open up your battery and see how many you have in series then choose wisely.

and the controller to see what caps are in there
17s x 3.6v=61.2v nom
17s x 4.2v=71.4v
you would need a minimum of 72v caps in the controller
16s x 3.6v= 57.6v nom
16s x 4.2= 67.2v
you would need a minimum 68v caps inside
havent looked at the price of a bms lately
a good active balancer thats programmable and bluetooth
16s is half the cost of the same at 17s
17s x 3.6v=61.2v nom
17s x 4.2v=71.4v
you would need a minimum of 72v caps in the controller

i like 17s. BMSes and chargers are now available at practically the same prices as 16s

i like 17s but the problem i have is that i want all my batteries to be interchangeable with my boat
cant go over 60v nominal for the boat
so whats up with that bms saying 60v/17s?

60V cut off is not 60v nominal. What's that 15s at 4V max charge. 14s would stay under 60V.
Just wondering. Trying to get it straight in my head.

I did not mean cutoff of usage like LVC / HVC just where certifying bodies draw the line for more stringent regulations.ZeroEm said:
I imagine they would use the high end of the range the voltage the system is designed to use, so yes charging voltage.

I under stand 60V is a safety limit as far as our skin so they say. I'm sure it depends on many more factors.
I have been reading
and wondered if I am confusing facts, don't want to live in a echo chamber.
To really stay under 60V it would be a 13S as not to reach 60V correct?
