the i3 has a different setup, they use 8 cell packs with 1 csc and 12 cells instead of 6 cell packs with 16 cells in the i8.....
that's why the pre-LCi i8 uses 2 CSC´s per cell pack, BMW used the same CSC´s from the i3 but to balance just 8 cells (half a cell pack) instead of 12.....
the LCI i8 has 6 CSC´s for balancing 16 cells with a 1 master- 5 slave configuration and a single CAN connection instead of double....
the cell total is 96 cells in both cars but the I3 cells are much wider and heavier hence the cell packs have other dimensions ....
the cell packs inside the SP41 batteries used in different models have the same dimensions as the packs in the (pre/ LCI i8, the gen3 versions have 26 Ah cells while the gen4 version have 34Ah cells.
the LCi cell packs are 0.9 kg heavier because of the higher energy density.
Depending on the car model the SP41 batteries can contain 5 or 6 cell packs so check the sticker to verify the cell pack number.....
