Finally installed this build today. I have been researching for a while weather or not to use a BMS or not. Trying to find something at a decent price and not at POS is a bit challenging that will hold the kind of amps I'm looking for (200). I bought these used off of ebay for $40 for 4 of them. They all checked out with good voltages.
I said 13.8 amps, meant volts. Each battery is 8 ah, 3.2v. They also make a 10ah that would be great for a second battery build. I'm getting 16 ah out of these, but I can charge and discharge them like 10k times and still have 75% capacity vs. Lead.. you get maybe 500 cycles @ 50%.. not bad for around $100 bucks. I could easily fit probably 3 more 12v packs just were the starter battery goes. I don't run a lot of accessories off the battery so no need to build a crazy second battery, but I bet I could get up around 100ah on the second tray easy.
