Just a quick point about 1. (Recommended Charge Current 20 A):
Yes, you're welcome to use whatever charge current you want. My point is that if you continuously charge above 20A, and then try to make a warranty claim due to failure, they will deny it because you went against the spec/recommendation. If you go above the spec, you're on your own.
Whether or not the cells can handle > 20A regularly is another story (it probably can, 20A is pretty low for 100Ah cells). Without access to the cell datasheet, we cannot verify.
So much for that "7-year warranty". My guess is they'll do anything to deny warranty repair/replacement.
They even tout: Capacity @ 20A 300 Min ? .
Don't count on your average Joe to be as educated as us forum members.

100% agreed. But remember this is marketed as a drop-in 12V replacement for lead acid "Deep Cycle Battery".in my opinion it is not the BMS that should be protecting the wire, the wire should have an overcurrent protection device (fuse or breaker) close to battery positive, and should be protected regardless of what occurs with the BMS. At least this is what I would do.
