I'd just thought I'd chime in with my experience with Neey and Aliexpress. Avoid them as you may be in for a negative experience. I guess I should say, my clone Neey's are not Neey's fault but after the ordeal I've gone through, I wouldn't want it to fall upon anybody. Aliexpress has no...

The tangential square of the volumetrical capacitance supercedes degradation through resistive loads as compared to photosetter modularutarater impulsive equations.... Layman terms..... WTF.... that tracking degradation report took two years off my life..... lol.

Well then I got lucky or the air in my area has magic unicorn pixel dust because after the 7 days all 43 cells equalized to within .009 volts ( see images ), but they were within .5v to begin with. Come to think about it, it was like 12 days in parallel, not 7, but after soo many days messing...

My Lady Stella Maris.... she is a very stable platform for Lithium... smile

HRTKD, Understood and I have gone the 8s4p route... well actually 8s5p (I added another bank as back up...smile). I have reached out to Daly for their 200A 8s BMs units, with Bluetooth being the each bank of the five will can put out nominalm 180A's a bit twice under heavy loads which I should...

I'll look into that narrative on LiFePo4 degradation... now I understand where all your knowledge comes from.... smile. Pass it on my friend, thanks. As per goal... I will stay with the 4 banks for now and at 80% usage (which I rarely reach) I'll have 11,500k Whr's which a gets me through two...

I'd prefer to have the 5 banks within 10Ahs so I could keep all five on and not through or over use the lower bank which my understanding would occur

I have 40 Calb 180AH cells configured in 8S5P

A gift horse... best method to match used LiFePo4 Calb 180ah cells? Summary; I was gifted 46 Calb 180ah cells that came off a dock yacht; owner upgraded to entire Victron package. My vessel runs on 24v, so I set them up in 8s5p (using 40 cells) with each bank having its own Daly 200a BMS. They...

the cells I would like to replace are in the 98 to 104Ah range

Great input.... I always say " I'm not Stupid, Just Ignorant, educate me on the subject and I will make better choices ".... smile. So, thanks for the input and although my news is bad (see below) I'm not crying, the cells have carried the electrical loads on my boat as they were so if...

correct which is why I'm looking for a few cells in the 145Ah range to replace the 90Ah ones

if I mix these in with the lot there is up to 30Ah with a cells within a few banks

Hello All, Was wondering if anybody has a good source on interpreting Daly's Smart BMS Ap. I am good with 70% of what the setting do but when it comes down to a few there are a mistory such as " Balance open diff start". Would be great I Daly had a manual for its products, but I guess that...

taking them out I have 4 good banks within 3 to 8 amp varation between the cells in each bank. Thats my plan for now, use 4 banks until I find a few OLD cells to incorporate into that last bank

By the way I have two that test in the 160AH range. I was wondering whats a fast means to decrease these to better match m,y other cells.... Without cycling them a Gabillion times ove a thousand years with my 3.5v cell charger..... lol

Yes Substrate. I am aware, but that doesn'tmean I have worked out my solutions to such issues. I would love to go full Lithium as I have 6 Valence 138 Amp 12v batteries for Aux Engine, but these are a different composition than the 40 CALB's I just installed. I have appropriate...

Victim as charged.... not lol. As per verifying, I stated on initial inquiry if they were not clones and they must be 4th gen to which they replied back with a confirmation. Now post purchase and after a month's worth of poor feed back on their part they say this "is the 4a" version, but never...

Hello All, Cell Dummy here to impose another question to the group on how to best manage or to utilize the cells “I Have". Ver 1.0 of Gifted Horse was about balancing the 8S5P bank of batteries that were gifted to me. Quick summary, this bank is the house bank aboard my sailboat and as they...

Boon, I'm hoping that will be the case with my lithiums, but being that they are used, I feel it best to have one on hand should the need arrises. Lexio, I took a quick look at Seplos, but a bit too late; I already ordered the Daly's. Besides, Daly's cost less and seem to manufacture so many...

I appreciate the confidence you write with, it gives me (an Ignorant not Stupid man) confidence on how to proceed. That said and according to your statements I will use maintain the four banks with the best matched cells (has to better) and the fifth I will use the 90AH with the other 7 cells...

Bummer just the Ah Cells I needed. Next time... smile Be well Gil

Hello to all and to those whom will advise, a thanks in advance. Situation: I am about to convert my vessels house bank over from 16 Trojan T-105s (4S4P), 24v system, which served as my house and engine bank over to Lithium system. Important side note; I have an additional two wet cell 8D's up...

Jwelter so many good comments..... much appreciated and many have loomed throughout my thought process during this upgrade. 1. I have thought of a monitoring system that will link to my inhouse GSM alarm as a device input; still working on details and methodologies for this. in addition...

Ok, let's slow down here and recovien.... to summarize current status and future goal of buy a few older used Calb 180Ah cells. 1. Of the 44 cells I have, I plan to utilize 32 that rate within 139 to 155Ah's permitting me to build 4 banks that have a 1.92 to 6.61Ah deviation of the cells with...

Correction to #5 above: and one new 185Ah Calb 180 Cell.

57 year old sailor here who enough to be 90% effictive by focusing my time on results not effort... smile. That said, maybe someone can create (solo or though group efforts) a mother of all solar system excel spreadsheet, that can assist persons limit some mistakes along the way. You know what...

Thanks M. Sandals. I was doing as stated, but usage and whether I had to combine banks for higher loads changed watt usage, so I couldn't rely on my findings. That said I bought a EBC-A40L Capacity tester and 25 days from now I should know which cells to group up. Thanks again. Be well Gil
