Yeah, I've had a lot of experience with lithium over the past year, voltage can really only be used to High/Low cut-offs, not SoC.
To start I will be using the AH counter in the Zilla, since I am hooking up my laptop to log my drives I might has well use the AH counter in the ZillaConfig tool.
I just got my batteries in, but I don't have enough wire to hook up the MiniBMS so I am going off to work to get loads of it and to browse the MiniBMS documentation to make sure I know every little bit of it.
It looks like I am on track for a Friday test drive, I expect the BMS installation to take about 2 hours, which I may do most of it tomorrow night.
