One more time. There is a really good reason that the only place you find aversion to BMSes is among EV hobbyists. Real world electronics manufacturers -- the ones who build millions of laptops, mobile phones, power tools and yes, commercial EVs -- know that you don't sell a product with a lithium battery unless it has ample smarts to protect the battery, the user, and the manufacturer. Trust me, these guys have bean counters looking over their shoulders. They wouldn't be using BMSes if they weren't necessary. BMSes protect the battery from early failure, the user from hazard to life and limb, and the manufacturer from the lawyers!
