Lithiumate Lite. Dedicated EV BMS with some very nice integrations.

Tied the warning lamp to the “Gen” lamp on dash, so I get early warning of potential issues.

SOC output is connect to fuel gauge on dash, so I get 20%-100% aligned to E – F on the gauge. Never want to go below 20% SoC, but nice to know I have a couple of “limp” miles even at E.

My legacy BMS (Home brew) is being upgraded – same principle but using Raspberry Pi reading the serial port of the Lithiumate.
