I'm sourcing some Nissan Leaf batteries which are lithium based batteries. The setup I'm looking at getting is an 18 cell pack. Where do I start looking for a BMS system that works with these batteries?

Checking Electric Motorsport I see things like:

BL20 Cell Balancer for GBS 20Ah - BATTERIES - EV Parts Store

and

Elithion Lithiumate Lite 20-Cell BMS for Prismatic Cells - BATTERIES - EV Parts Store

The second link is for 20 cells. So I was looking for something a little more custom so I'm not paying more for those extra cells I'm not needing. Are there any BMS setups you'd recommend over others?
