  • There isn’t a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.

    But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I’ve used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn’t too bad.

    Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.

    There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.











  • Cell quality is important. You want to be using known good quality cells like those from Panasonic, Samsung, LG, etc…

    How you manage temperature, charge and discharge is also really important, dendrite growth can cause cell failure in time. Charge temperature is extremely important. So you want to make sure you’re using a smart programmable BMS where you can set up all the protections properly. Ideally one with as many temperature probes as you can find, 4 is good, 8 is better and some will have that many.

    Otherwise making sure nothing can short out internally is important too, but it sounds like you’re putting some thought into that. Most critical IMO from what I’ve seen on pre-made battery packs is making sure your series banks are well insulated from each other and have no chance of vibration causing the cells to wear through their heatshrink and touch each other.
