    AliExpress Order 1 of 4 cells bad

    Thanks for the inquiry. I ended up purchasing another 120ah battery with the same specs off of ebay. I did a parallel top charge to 3.6v and it seems to be working great now. The one cell was just not cutting it and I believe it was bad. I can also tell you that going into this I has believed...

    Can current be limited from RV power converter (55amp) to BMS (Max chg 40amp)?

    @ed209 Thanks a bunch for your reply. This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Obviously I know that I can buy a unit with smaller output, but I was hoping for a fix on the component level or close to that. I think I have it figured out, but will see how it goes. Thanks again for...

    AliExpress Order 1 of 4 cells bad

    Thanks for any feedback you have. I ordered and just received 4 120ah 3.2v LiFePo4 cells and a Daly BMS. The short question is this: 1 of the cells is bad and tested .2 volts lower upon receipt, but only put out 77.4ah dropping off way sooner than the others. I have 15 total days to open a...
