I think y'all are getting off track covering Marcus comment. He was wondering why BB'g can't be done with the cells in parallel. My answer was basically me BS'ing, because I haven't really figured it out yet myself.
I think the general advantage of having no BMS by way of BB'ing is...wait for it - not having a BMS. There is a certain appeal to having a pack that will last nearly forever and requires no hardware management at all. I probably won't achieve that with my salvage pack of mongrel cells, but I think it may be possible with good quality new cells. It is elegant (if it works). What I learn from this I may apply to building a pack like that. I think it is an honorable goal. All you power hungry, wealthy guys that spend multiple thousands on your packs will prefer to protect your packs with a BMS. Makes sense to me. But I can risk it since I can experiment on a 20 Ah pack. -- Put this question to yourself: should I use everyone else to attain happiness, or should I help others gain happiness? *Dalai Lama * Tell me what it is you plan to do With your one wild and precious life?
