So that is the revolutionary proprietary BMS system? Probably the same as is in the cheapo Chinese drop in batteries.

So why your confusion?

Quality wise about what I would have expected, but I thought it would be something the nephew and his follow college students had designed and would be built into boards with other components. It is starting to sound like the whole thing may be off the shelf maybe a custom relay board.


On edit, off the shelf part.

It might be that the internal Ecotrek components evolved over time from the original RT developed BMS to off the shelf components as they discovered that they could fix the issues easier that way than continue to flail away at fixing their own design...

That is certainly possible. All the parts appear to be easily accessible for anyone to do their own, "drop in" battery, and many Asian companies are doing just that.

Somewhere I have a photo of the inside of an original version Ecotrek. If I find it, I will see if it looks like it has these off the shelf components.
