BMS Choices for Electric Vehicles

BMS Battery Management System for Electric Vehicles running Lithium Batteries

Some requirements:

  1. Able to do 45 cells or more,
  2. Isolate battery pack from overcharge,
  3. Isolate battery pack at low state of charge,
  4. Designed for LiFePo4 batteries,
  5. Give a price
  6. Some track record?

This is a collection of information I have collected and gathered together to decide on a BMS for the LiFePo4 battery pack I have ordered for the Saturn. If someone has any info to add email me at CONTACT HERE especially track records. I cannot find many examples of these in use, except by the BMS makers themselves.
