Many may consider this as a waste of capasity but I feel comfortable with it and I feel I have the extra capasity to spare. I run a ThunderSky 48v 20ah pack. Bob
I thought one of the jobs of the BMS, was to ensure that all cells discharge and charge equally....

but according to Ping..the BMS does not accomplish this...

either way, I think a LVC of 40 volts should be safe, and allow much of the battery capacity to be utilized...

having a LVC of 44- 46 , seems like you may be leaving useful energy in the battery , that would equate to several more miles of distance covered , without harming the batteries.
