4S LiFePO4 as car battery without BMS?
So I’m considering going to a lithium battery both to increase charge efficiency and to reduce weight for my car. My first thought is LiFePO4 for its stability and energy density, and Headway cells (40152S) seem a good fit given their capacity and available discharge rate. Given that their nominal voltage is close to the resting voltage of a lead acid battery, would that mean I wouldn’t need a BMS? Just don’t charge in below freezing contditions?
