I have stumbled upon a new Chevy Bolt type cells that I intend to use for my 1980 Comuta-car and I need advice for a BMS and Charger combo. I purchased (2) 24V LG Lithium-Ion Packs, 7s3p 4.15kWh Chevy Bolt EV to create a 48 volt 14s3p 8.3kWh pack to replace my (6) 8volt golf cart lead acid set up. I have read through @grantwest post and @Inwo comments on the gem upgrades and basic BMS functionality. The Chargery system looks good but I would like to hear how they have held up over time. I plan to use this as a daily driver 9 miles one way with hills. Bad part is I live at the top of a 1/2 mile hill, but access to 110 power at work. I have upgraded to a 600 amp 48 volt alltrax (wish I had went to the 72 volt lol) controller and 400 amp solenoid and heavy duty f/r contactor. Looks like a good group of folks here. Looking forward to the conversation and advice. ![20200703_102911](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/e/e419a60c92f95dd989d546545dd9bd49554c1ee5.jpeg) ---

10 spline Dana. The cells were sold separately from a supplier to the person that was making a solar power wall but he decided to go a different direction when the supplier ran out of stock. Hope it works out. I think it going to be a 160 ah pack. ---

The sale fell through…the seller underestimated the cost and preparation for shipping. I’m still interested in how the chargery BMS and charger are holding up. ---

Working well. @grantwest may have the most experience with them. ---

I have been having excellent luck with mine. Any problems I’ve had have been self-inflicted. If you hook them up even a little bit wrong you’re in trouble. But once you get that hooked up right they have been very reliable I highly recommend them. But like I said there is no room for error they have no protection if you were to hook up any of the JST leads incorrectly
