I'm referring to the kind of bms that's used in this tutorial: http://www.ebikeschool.com/how-to-build-a-diy-electric-bicycle-lithium-battery-from-18650-cells/
Mine just arrived but it is seemingly DOA, the seller is shipping me a new one but I want one now
I'm guessing there's some kind of comparator action going on at each of the cells, and if the voltage is too high the optocoupler of the cell is shut off (on the 10s bms there's 20 optocouplers), and then al of those optocouplers in series need to be active for the FETs to conduct? But then how would the balancing work, you'd need communication on what cell is the highest voltage?
If anyone knows more about these BMSes that'd be very much appreciated!
