Peter, I created a new thread to continue our discussion. Maybe you can move our discussions thus far into it?

G1 Honda Insight Lithium BMS Discussion

@retepsnikrep and I are considering designing a simple battery management system that supports Honda's 3rd generation Insight lithium battery packs. We've discovered that these packs mechanically fit in the G1's OEM IMA battery bay, which makes them an IDEAL candidate for simple lithium...

I think several of us purchased multiple packs. Let's do a roll-call. If you purchased packs, please post here with the total pack QTY you purchased. Example:

@mudder purchased QTY8 18S modules and QTY8 12S modules.

@mudder purchased QTY8 18S modules and QTY8 12S modules.

Ditto for me in the UK..

I bought one of the 400 option. So...
Qty 2 18s & Qty 2 12s for me.

I bought and received one of the sets of packs for 400.

Probably one set 2 x18 and 2 x12 cell like the $400 ones.
