Good day all,
My first post here, kinda new to the battery world as well .
I am going to convert a Suzuki GS500 from a combustion engine to an electric motor.
Now I've done the calculations and I would need a 72V battery pack with about 70Ah, totalling to about 5kWh.
To build this battery pack using 1800mAh cells, I'd need to build a pack of 20s40p.
So my question is what would be the best configuration to build this pack?
I've read that building the parallel blocks first would be my best bet, sowould I need to build this intopacks of 40 (8*5) and build 20 of these in series?
I would also like to use a BMS on these packs, as I'd like it to be as safe as possible.
How would I install the BMS on these packs?
I assume I'd need to install a BMS per parallel block or would this need to be installed in the 20s40p total?
Please let me know if you require any additional information, all help is very welcome!
Regards,
Hans
