to treat them well, LiFePO4 batteries will return the favor. Keep ALL
cells over 2.7V at ALL times, and you will get along if you have a proper
charger."
We can check what he is using for BMS. As a custom electronics engineer, he knows a few things about it.

El Camino-Tom must be using a "
Battery
Monitor System
"and not the common acronym of
BMS for
Battery
Management
System, these are two different devices, the later being a more complex piece of equipment.
A "balancer" is neither.
