I would like your advice.
Suppose your battery configuration looks like this:
16x lifepo4 cells of 3.2 v and 280 Ah in combination with a multiplus-2 48 / 5000-70.
Which bms could best be used in this system, and what else do I need (shunt etc)?
See different BMS modules of REC-bms, but lose the overview a bit here.
You can either string the 16 cells up together and go for a single 16s 48v BMS like this https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9iDDEr
Or put them together 4 at a time into 12v units, stick one of these 4s 12v BMS's on each https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AraEHh Then you can series the 4 x 12v blocks into 48v.
I like these units because the management app is really useful. Actually, that said, it's great, easy to use for Android users although I understand that Apple-heads have more trouble with it.
