Have asked digimess if they could upgrade my PSU to 50a if it would be possible for them to do so.
There are some settings that piss me off though. Its like having big brother on your back telling you what to do. Incorrectly! It will not allow a long enough CV stage to charge my camera battery without cell balance connections for eg. I need some modifications to the lead acid charge algo too. And a few fine tuning ones to the LiFePO4 options. I don't believe that half the planet use these things but they don't know any better...

B.M. will point out that your losing out on the benefits of a higher voltage ..but you can replace your current batteries with 24v of lithium ( LifePo4 ).

You can't buy ready made packs, you have to measure the battery case(s) size and work out how many cells you are able to fit in the space including the cell holders.

Burgerman wrote:BMS is BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. It does a lot of things. Things you may not understand. Designed to allow a dummy with no idea what they are doing, to fit a lithium battery in a place it shouldn't be, that wasn't designed for lithium with inadequate understanding. Almost every battery pack sold has one inside and they cause all the problems. In a properly integrated system, with correct cells and in the correct quantity, with a cell balancing charger you don't need one.
