Hello Everyone , I am wondering that Is it a good idea to have a battery balancer for lithium batteries on 48 volts system ? Thank you very much in advance.

If you are referring the Victron balancer, it is not designed for 48V systems.
If you have a 48V pack this should have one integrated internally as cell balancing is essential.
If you are talking about balancing 48V batteries then wiring is the best way to make sure each has equal charge and discharge currents.
How is this balancer not designed for 48v systems? Victron's own webpage on it says "A 48V battery bank can be balanced with three Battery Balancers."
Also, there is a Victron-provided wiring diagram for 48v systems
You are most correct. I did not think about use of the mutliple balancers on a 48v systen using 12v batteries. OP does not say they are 12v batteries being used in a 48V system however.
@Jasbir Rathor please review.
You did not mention what voltage your individual batteries actually are, however if they are 48v each individual then the origional answer about the balancer is correct, it cannot be used.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
