Hello. I'd like to post a question and ask for confirmation of my understanding of how a situation will behave.

I am building a battery bank for my RV consisting of four 12 volt batteries. Each battery is made up of four CALB 130 Ah lithium iron phosphate cells from an EV that I built and have now decommissioned. I want to use the DYKB smart BMS 4S 12V 60A LifePo4 BMS that Will demonstrated recently.

I would like to be able to draw 166 amps for brief periods of time to ensure my 2000 watt inverter has full power from the bank. While I know the batteries can supply this easily (I've drawn 350 amps from the original EV battery bank for several minutes), my question is about a different config than I used in the EV where 45 cells were wired in series for a nominal 144 VDC.

If I equip each 12 VDC battery I make, with one 60 AMP BMS and the four batteries are wired in parallel, EACH BMS will only have to deal with 41 amps and not the total from the bank of 166 amps. Isn't that correct?

Thanks!
