I was planning to customize the Victron appliances to use the recommended LiFePo4 setting of the cells datasheet and let the BMS do the balance work.
But I'll take a closer look at your Seplos BMS and JBD driver !!!
Hello,
I read all the posts off this thread and it was a lot :)
But I'm still a bit confused about how to reach the "good" compression value.
I'm planning to use fixed compression for 1p16s with 6 rods and bolts.
Does anyone has a simple way to translate 12psi or 300kgf to torque bench wrench...
oops sorry !

Hello,
I'm planning to build a 16s LiFePo4 battery (14kwh) for my home solar setup: Victron MultiPlus-II 48-3000 VA 35-32 GX + Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 + 10 solar panels (355Wc).
I was previously looking for LTO cells but my mind switched to the beauty of the LF280K cells and its 6000...
Hello, and sorry for hijacking this post but this is the one I understood the most!
I'm building a 1p16s EVE LF280K pack. The pack will be physically divided by 2.
I plan to use 6 rods (6mm) with M6 bolts.
If I understand correctly and if I don't make mistakes about unit conversions or...
I read a lot of good information about the links you provided.
The driver for JBD seems working fine with Victron : https://github.com/Louisvdw/dbus-serialbattery/wiki/Features
So does the Seplos BMS ...
Hello Fhorst, I'm really sorry to read your story.
I was looking for this active balancer BMS for the same reason than you : high charge current rate (and monitoring).
The Ant BMS can only charge at 50A max and I need 72A to mach my solar panels production. So the new BMS seemed the answer, but...
Hello, a big thank you for all the feedbacks of this can bus compatible BMS !!!
For the Victron users I found a post on the Victron forum where people are using it with a GX device on chained LiFePo4 DIY batteries and details of the custom cable needed...
thanks again, according to these specifications the version B1A24S-15P should be enough for 100A charge.
You were really unlucky !
I like your solution of using a simple and reliable BMS like the daly as battery protection and monitoring / balancing with a more complexe unit : a good split of...
Did you received the Seplos BMS ? I think it make a lot of sense to use it with Victron devices, I just miss the bluetooth feature and hope a passif BMS is enough for this setup.
Where did you ordered it and how much was it ?
Hey @houseofancients how is this BMS working for you so far?
I received my quote for the 150A model and I'm considering to order it for the end of the month when it'll be in stock.
I plan to use 6 rods (6mm) with M6 bolts.
If I understand correctly and if I don't make mistakes about unit conversions or translation:
I need to apply a total of 660lbs x 2 = 1320 lbs to keep it "compressed".
For 6 bolts: 1320/6 = 220 pounds at each bolt
With the bolt calculator i found...
