I'm continuing with my plan to build an 18650 battery pack and I need some more input from smart guys.
I am trying to choose a battery management systems (BMS) from BesTech Power. These are rated, in part, according to amperage. Ida Li, BesTech sales rep, says I should determine the "maximum continuous amperage" of my system.
(Note: I am not addressing battery pack voltage or overall amp hour capacity here.)
I understand that my new direct drive motor (still awaiting delivery) will draw 60 amps.
I plan to build some cushion into my battery pack capacity, which, when completed, could produce as much as 100 amps.
My question is this. Do I choose a BMS based on battery capacity (100 amps), or the estimated draw of the motor (60 amps)?
Educated comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike S.
