I have come across an interesting BMS in my R/C hobby that may prove to be an interesting cost effective system for many EVers.
The system does not have active balancing of cells. The main features are built-in memory for logging of cell voltage, LCD display, custom alarms points, each module handles 8 cells, alarm output wire, USB connection....
Price about $27US per module
It would be interesting to hear the feedback from the community on the potential of this low cost option.
Attached is the manual and web link to the online retailer:
