I really learned a lot from Jack's videos, but essentially: Jack is acting as the BMS. He has instrumentation and dligence on checking his pack at every opportunity and a small issue never turns into a big issue because Jack knows what is going on and attends to it immediately. He talks about those small issues occasionally and they have never been difficult to solve.
Production cars are for.. people who are not Jack. I can't tell you how many times I've been a passenger in an ICE car and see the oil light flicker or some other major problem that neds immediate attention. The driver is invariably unaware or unconcerned. So the BMS is supposed to allow the driver to stop worrying and just drive the car. In general this works pretty well. I am not Jack either so I will want some sort of intelligent medium priced BMS on my car. I want to devote my time and energy to other projects. cheers, sean On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 10:42 AM, Cruisin <[email protected]> wrote: > More important role the BMS plays is not only preventing overcharge, which > is > what everybody is talking about here, but over discharge.
