Ok, so thinking caps on.... can the charger / motor controller be intelligent enough to 'manage' the cells of a battery pack for over and under voltage and perform some degree of balancing without the need for individual BMS on each cell ?
Don't choke..... it was a fair question.
Remember, 'can't' is not a word, just a state of mind.
Some possible inputs / options.....
You can have total control over charging current and voltage and also modulation of the current. You can have plenty of info on ambient temperature, pack charge and discharge history etc. You can measure pack impedance at any time.
No ostrich solutions of pre-balanced / matched cells thanks.
Detecting a faulty cell is an essential function.
Fault may be physical damage to cell or wiring.
System will most likely be quite chemistry dependent.
Don't reply to this post if you think it can't be done. !
