Man, so much to learn here. Let's see.
I didn't precharge the capacitors in the AIMS charger, so i'll get some resistors for future use. Is that primarily for the large AH battery banks or would that apply to any lead acid 12V battery too? I'll start researching how to reset the Daly BMS too.
Thanks for the quick replies!
1. Ok, I won't connect the charger directly to the batter, bypassing the BMS.
2. Regarding the voltage differential, i'm just checking the voltage at the battery terminals and the voltage at the battery positive terminal and the P- terminal on the BMS, correct? I...
I have searched for clarification on fuse type and holder for the smaller din mounted protection devices, but haven't been able to find much. Most of the commentary has been on larger 10A+ fuses or breakers. I'm trying to specify a din mount fuse and holder for my 3 amp to 5 amp fuses off of...
I'm looking at building a 16s bank, so 16 - 3V cells in series to make 48V. I've read that adding batteries in parallel is ok for 2p or possibly 3p, but ideally not more. I understand that adding a string in parallel would be adding another 16s for a total of 32 cells.
If I have my 16s setup...
I know this has been answered somewhere, but I haven't found it yet, so please bear with me.
I'm building a 16S 48V 160ah (standard .5C) battery bank with a Victron 3kw/120v inverter/charger. No solar at this time, just a power wall. The Winston Sky battery cells have a max rating of 4V, so...
Yes, it's a 120VAC power converter charger. That makes sense about the AC charging the capacitors.

Hi,
I am building a 12V 160Ah Lifepo4 battery with a Daly 200A BMS and recently purchased the AIMS Power 12V converter/charger to charge the battery. The battery and BMS appear to be functioning correctly with a current SOC of 13.2V. The positive cable is connected directly from the charger to...
