I recently purchased 40 Nissan Leaf gen2 battery modules with the plan to use 10 of them in my electric motorcycle with an ME-1003 motor and the other 30 on a range extender trailer that will connect to the bike when I want to take longer trips to the beach or out of town.
My plan is to connect 10 modules in series to get 72v and then 4 in parallel to get ~240Ah (the modules are rated for 7.3v 66Ah but are at 92% capacity which is ~60Ah).
10 will live on the bike, the other 30 will live on the trailer.
My question is, what BMS would you recommend? I'm leaning towards the Batrium WatchMon 4 with the LeafMon monitors, but that setup would cost me nearly as much (maybe more!) than I spent on the batteries.
My main concern with having this many batteries laying around is fires, so any extra advise is also welcome. I'm coming from an automechanic and computer repair tech background so I have a fair amount of experience with both fabrication, soldering, and saftley dealing with individual electronics batteries but I'd still love to hear from you all on precautions I might not have considered.
