Is there any possibility you have code or documentation on the inter webs anywhere?
I'm very interested in your approach on the bms side of things. I have been designing a circuit board, based on arduino, with similar methods, I just want everything in a complete package. I'm currently working on a way to recycle the excess voltage from the cells, rather than dump it to a resistor, I haven't even began writing the code yet, but I would love to look at yours.

Check out the separate category I started for the bms

Code coming soon

where is the project?

The link was buried in that mess of HTML...

I notice in your specks ..quote... "Battery life: 25 years " !! ... that's what I want ...

Please tell how this was determined ....

I think this is the schematic of what you are doing, I drew it a few weeks ago.



And this is the general idea of how you can balance cells dynamically with minimal losses, with all the switches in the first position the cells are charged in parallel, when switched to the second position they discharge in series. The first circuit singles out the high or the low cell and the second one takes charge from it sends charge to it accordingly.
