Electrified Downhill bike

[zeropointbug]

Well traditionally I have never balanced charged my A123 packs (checked my A123 thread?), but those are small R/C packs, not much cost in them... this is a $550 battery (still cheap compared to lipos!), I am not sure if I want to risk it, you know?

Unless the tolerances are even better than M1's, then sure I might go for a PSU charge. I know I will at least put balance plugs on obviously just for checking cell voltages if I didn't use balance charger.

I asking cell_man what he thinks.
