The only question is the degree of intelligence and automation involved. If you're good about setting an alarm to check on the charger and sticking probes various places to keep tabs on things, great; don't pay for a BMS since you've already got one: you yourself. But if you just want to plug the blasted contraption in when you get home and forget about it until it's time to drive off tomorrow, or maybe not even drive off for a few days and not have to worry about unplugging it until it's time to go...or even if you're willing to baby it but, honestly, every now and again you forget to turn off the iron or let the hose run longer than it should or miss emptying the litterbox some evenings... ...then get a robot to do the job for you. That's what they're for, right? And, honestly, don't we _all_ have better things to do with our time and attention than babysitting batteries? b& _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
