I have ordered this 8s to 20s 300Amp BMS with Bluetooth https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32997552090.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7a444c4d6nskZw
I will be using it on an 8s Lifepo4 pack.

My first question is, will this BMS connect to the Bluetooth out of the box? (once it is connected to power and turned on)
Or will it require programming first with a USB-485, or USB-CAN or USB-TTL before i can connect with the Bluetooth App?

I understand i will need to set the parameters for charging/discharging cut off points and low temp cut off.

Sorry in advance, if this is stupid question but im new to building Lifepo4 batteries.
I have literally spent weeks reading up and watching videos. Plus invested plenty of money into this project, so i dont want to mess things up by burning up a BMS and then having to wait 5-6 weeks for a new BMS to be delivered.

The short answer is yes. I had no trouble getting the MaYi BMS app (referenced in a reply to my "ANT BMS questions" thread) to install, pair and report cell values. But I'm stuck there, it won't let me set anything.

I also installed the Vortecks app. It won't even pair!
