life my way
I don't think when I began my solar energy journey I would have expected selecting a BMS to be one of the hardest parts, but it has been a long road of reading, watching and asking.
My 32 cells are due to arrive soon and I have settled on the ANT BMS that Big Willie reviews here.
It seems to have the things I most want... Easy enough setup, Affordablity, Cell monitoring, Temp cut-off, It just works, Etc...the right balance.
Just for sanity, for my 8 series, 24v connections I need the 8S version, correct? Also, if I ever wanted to double my storage capacity with one of my systems (8S2P I guess) is there a single BMS that I could use to monitor it as one battery, like the 16S version for instance?
Finally, does anyone know, Will shows the low temp charge cutoff works well, but does that also protect it on the hot end...on my 280aH cells the manufacturer appears to show 55°C / 131°F as the max temp to draw power from these.
Many thanks if you know any or all of these queries.
