    Hello from Central Coast NSW Australia :)

    Bought from Amy at Shenzhen Luyuan. Paid a bit more but these are supposedly their top cells as opposed to the commodity cells. As so bought my BMS which was the same price as the Daly website but only $12 extra shipping.

    Hello from Central Coast NSW Australia :)

    Hi Bilpohm I’m just up the road from you at Port Stephens and have recently built a 280ah battery and have another four cells and BMS on the way. Hope all goes well for you in your build.

    Will this battery configuration be OK for these BMS?

    If you want to draw up to 200A from say two 12v batteries you can theoretically use a 4S 100A BMS on each battery. Obviously you also have to look at the permissable discharge current for your batteries.

    Nominal Capacity : 100Ah ?

    I did correct it and it didn't save the first time :(. Anyway I think you will find that John is building a 12v system and if he returns we can hopefully help him out.:)

    G'day guys

    Hi Adam and welcome. I’m from Port Stephens New South Wales and have just built a 280Ah batter with cells from China and have another 4 cells on the way. I paid just over AU$900 for my first set with a Daly 250A BMS and just over AU$1000 for for my second set. Yes you can buy cheaper and take...

    Nominal Capacity : 100Ah ?

    Hi John, What you have is 8 cells at 100Ah each so if you put 4 of these in series you then get 100Ah @ 12.8volts. If you do the same with the other 4 cells then connect them in parallel to the first pack you get 200Ah @ 12.8 volts. As per MisterSandel‘s post if you put the 8 in series you...

    My negative experience with my solar charger Epever Tracer10415AN and a warning for using it with Lithium Battery

    Lithium batteries do not require equalisation but under the user profile it is unable to be turned off so it is set to 14.6 or lower so it becomes like part of the absorption cycle. At the bottom set absorption time to 0 mins. Tim

    My negative experience with my solar charger Epever Tracer10415AN and a warning for using it with Lithium Battery

    The manual I showed you also does not have a dedicated setting for lithium batteries, this is because there are numerous types of lithium batteries which require different charge rates. Instead you have to choose the user setting and nominate the values listed under the correct lithium type...

    My negative experience with my solar charger Epever Tracer10415AN and a warning for using it with Lithium Battery

    You can set the user settings for lithium charging. If you scroll down the manual in the attached link if give you a list of the settings to use. EPEver manual with Lithium settings Any controller that has user settings that are able to be modified to these parameters is suitable. Tim

    Daly BMS incorrect current polarity.

    Just did a quick check whilst the rain has stopped and no the reset did not correct the negative display issue. Will wait for the software update if ever they release one but I have always known that it was working.

    Daly BMS incorrect current polarity.

    I have a 250A version and i have the same issue in that it is showing negative amps when charging. I also had other issues in that the temperature wasn’t being displayed and it was displaying another message about temperature setting. I hit the reset button and the temperature issues were...

    Need help understanding solar panel connectors, saftey

    If you had posted in one of the other forums you would have had a multitude of answers by now. Yes it is very safe to build cables as you are only dealing with 12 volts and all you need to do is make sure you have a good connection and that the polarity is right. I'm in Australia and we...

    Safety tips for me (newbie)

    Ok I see why he is giving the warning as he is incorporating a 120v system but he doesn‘t mention that at the beginning. But also he said he dropped a cable whilst connecting it. You are only doing 12 volt work and yes batteries do contain a lot of power that can cause you injuries but no more...
