Do these packs have a built in BMS?? I'm not seeing any specs for charging them and if they are designed as a drop in replacement for lead I would assume that they would.
I have to wonder tho with the 30 amp peek draw is that a sustained peek or a momentary peek, with the DeWalt packs they can handle 15 or so amps sustained but the BMS on them burns out if you have a fraction of a second surge, because batteries like that would otherwise work great for a lot of battery electric lawn mowers but the start up surge of the motor is more then 30 amps.
