Has anyone used a 100 Balance BMS from Dongguan Balanced Management Technology Co. Ltd?

100Balance is junk. Tried two of them. Waist of time and money. Using a JBD SP16S020 with the LCD and Bluetooth. Overkill App. Zero issues so far. Active Balancer I would go 4th generation Neey or Enerkey but I would wait to see if you need one or not.
Ok, thanks for the feedback. What issues did you have with them specifically?
 
Its been a while. first the leads were to short but I got it hooked up, then it woudlnt' balance if one cell was to low and one to high. All have to be over the threshold. So after some setting changes I thought I had it working. Then the bluetooth quit working. Got a replacement off Amz and the 2nd one was dead. Sent it back bought a JBD with LCD and was very happy. Less money and it worked. Used the Overkill app. Next time I'll buy from Overkill as Will suggest. Live is good.

never got a chance to test the 100 balance, but as far as I am concerned Neey is garbage. I bought four of those pieces of shit after watching scam master Andy's garbage videos. what a way to toss off 1000 USD.

How about Enerkey? I have a 4A that is working pretty good so far.
 
I've bought quite a few of the 4A Neey balancers and they worked out quite nicely. I just ordered their 10A model so hoping that one works out good as well. I never heard of the Enerkey brand but I'll check them out.

Enerkey and Neey look exactly the same. Not sure who is the main company. It seems hit and miss with much of this equipment.

4 units, 4 units failed to fire up, and I ordered directly form their website that andy pushed. f-them. thats a thousand+ dollars I could have spent on many things that do work. people bitch about the DALY gear, but guess what? there are a lot of folks who use the with no major issues. my only issue is that they do not balance for shit due to passive design, hence my desire to try the balance100's eventually i will get to setting it up and by then they will have either gotten better, or failed and closed the brand, just like everything else from china.

I agree with you about Daly. I was using a 500A Daly BMS with my 18KPV inverter for several months in lead acid mode and it worked beautifully. I then went with the JK inverter BMS and those are working good as well for the most part, but truth is I prefer the Daly hands down. Back then though I couldn't get it to communicate with the inverter. I think I will try a 100Balance BMS with their ready-made CAN/RS485 to ethernet cable for communication and see how that works. I just want to make sure that they have around 2 or so firmware updates available after the initial firmware version.

I have never tried a Daly, just 100Balance, so zero comment on Daly.
 
What's weird is every 100balance BMS clearly states active balance smart BMS yet no sign of it as far as features on the sales website yet they do sell a separate active balance module, maybe that's why people have said the balancing is crap because they haven't bought the additional hardware?

If I'm not mistaken I think the 100Balance BMS comes with a 1A balancer, which for a number of us DIYers may not be enough, especially for those larger capacity cells.
