Re: [Electric Boats] My conclusion Re: AGM Batteries

 

A good multi-stage charge is far far more important then a good BMS,  There are large debates on more then a few electric car sites that say some BMS hurt instead of helping.  The  http://web.me.com/mjrickard/   EVTV host makes a pretty good case for no BMS at all.  Though a good charger is not all that cheap either : http://www.evcomponents.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PFC%2D20

So you will need to pony up the dead presidents either way.

Does anyone know how important it is to have a Battery Management System on a bank of LiFe PO cells. It adds considerably to the cost. I can understand taking the risk on a bicycle or motorcycle bank but in a boat, is it prudent?
