There are two versions of the K2 battery, one with (suffix EB) and one without (suffix E) the Battery Management System. From reading the technical literature, it sounds like the BMS is designed to prevent battery damage in high discharge or high charge rate situations. Since in a glider we're only discharging and charging at about 2 amps max, can do without the BMS? Or have I got it wrong and would be risking a fire?
