I have been floating around this forum for a while and there appears to be a number of battery experts on here which is exactly what I need!
I have built 18650 battery packs before but I have a project that is a little different and I think I have the solution.
I need a 6S pack with high capacity. A single 6S6P BMS protected pack would be ideal, BUT it needs to be travel friendly, so it cannot be over 100Wh.

My plan is:
- Build 6 x 6S1P unprotected packs with balance leads. Each pack will be under 100Wh.
- Once the packs have arrived at their destination, connect them in full parallel (discharge and balance leads) inside a purpose built enclosure with a single BMS to look after protection and charging.
- The packs can then be unplugged again for travel.
