Open source battery monitor
 

Hi all,

just testing the water to see how much interest there is,

Perhaps these tools should be free?

I have made a basic nimh bms reader for my own studies and I am considering looking into the lifepo system.

Who feels up to the challenge?

My investigations have so far claimed the life of one lifepo bms😢

but the knowledge gained was worth it.

Please let me know your thoughts and if there is enough interest I will post more info in due course

Regards,

Ian

Anything that solves the 'mysteries' of Seg batteries is something I would be interested in studying. I have 7 of the LiFePo batteries that I'm trying to make last forever :p

Hi Don,

No real mystery..lol, just Segway being a little overprotective...of both their interests and ours.

The lithium bms is a picky little beast...

Cheers

I.

So far.....

Hallo Dorrington, I like your Project.
Are you still interested in sharing informations ?
I really would like to build a battery monitor for my segwaypolo club.

Hi Saskra,

still work in progress I'm afraid.

I have another, more important project at the moment so I will have to return to it when time allows..

thank you
Ian
