·Got my lithium batteries today. 125 of the suckers. 100 ah HiPowers for a price I could not refuse. Building two or three packs for my Bus. Three 120 volt or two 156 volt packs. Enough to allow me to have high voltage and lower amperage usage. I am leaning more towards the dual 156 volt pack. The HiPower batteries are not as high on the C discharge list as are TS or CALB but by doubling up the pack I can improve my AH and total amp draw to keep the batteries alive. Most are balanced already but a few are going to need to be brought into the fold. I will be balancing the ones that need it to match what I already have. No BMS but I will monitor the voltage of the packs and I'd like to find a good AH in AH out meter that will show and log my usage. One that will save the information for later retrieval and if the power is shut off in the evening after all the drives and after the charge is done. I will be getting the fuel gauge hardware to utilize my stock fuel gauge as a SOC meter. 
I want no parasitic loads on my pack once I have fully charged my pack.
