    No balancing at all with lithium ion cells is a disaster waiting to happen.
    Not measuring intermediate cell voltages is scary, too.

    I agree, but it does need at least passive balancing, which it sounds like your product doesn't have.

    click the "Post New Thread" button in the top right corner of any forum section.

    No, but I will reply to the thread once you create it.

    I would only need QTY1 module for a review, but QTY2 is better because I can test in parallel.
    Note that based on the information you've provided so far, I can almost certainly assure you my review would identify several safety issues with your product.

    There are various Li-ion chemistries. I was curious which you have chosen.

    Venceder created a new thread like you requested,
    My version of Li-ion modules for Toyota/Prius NiMH

    Please use that new thread to discuss his battery project.
