Yes, they do. It is visible if the battery cover is taken off. I personally have not seen this yet. > If so, what info do you have on this BMS? Waiting for this data (and some translation will be needed). I specifically requested it as well as real life vehicle test data, battery failure rate/reasons, and some more specific questions too long to list here. > Also have gotten anywhere in > becoming a distributor for them? My plan is really to put together a kit of components for high performance conversions, and there batteries can be part of the kit (second choice will be NiZn). Not quite sure this is "distributorship", I don't want just re-sell the batteries. I've gotten only as far as their confirmation that they are interested of doing it and we're discussing and settling some replacement/warranty issues. If whole thing goes through though, anyone will be able to purchase cells or batteries without rest of components comprising a kit. By high performance I rather mean normal car performance, (mainly range, >200 miles/charge), not racing performance. I don't have anything else to share with the list at this point. Victor
