Hello all,
I have been thinking about the details/requirements of upgrading my electric motorcycle.
It rolls out good with the SLA's but, the lure of:
...carrying less weight = better handling
...more power
...longer run time
...better fuel economy
...& quicker charge time
is enough to keep me up at night.
So, a 2kWh section of a Chevy Volt battery seems to be a good candidate
They seem to be plentiful, affordable & of good quality (even used)
I have been looking & doing a lot of research (Yabert has posted a lot of good info)
I understand that a BMS & proper charger are very important to the SAFE use of these batteries
My question is:
Would this BMS work to protect this battery? (~$85.00)

I believe a 100A draw is adequate for my situation.
It seems simple enough to wire up/connect to the OEM harness.
& maybe this charger (~$80.00)

It seems to have the proper charging parameters.
Any & all info would be appreciated
