Does anyone want to share the settings for there Daly Smart BMS that they are using?

I used diagrams.net it integrates with google drive and can import the victron assets I found here https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/7837/visio-stencils-for-victron-products.html

This is exciting, I am planning to load VenusOS on a pi4 once I get my system up and running. With a Daly smart with uart

I am not sure what limits there are with the Pi, I did get a remote panel for the MultiPlus so I won't have to rely on the Pi. It should be a fun project,

The only reason to put a breaker between the panel and the MPPT is for a disconnect? Is there any reason not to just use a battery switch? I might get a GX but I plan to get started with a raspberry Pi they have an open source version of the GX firmware that can be loaded on a Pi

That is a good question regarding the DC-DC charger, I'm not sure if that kind of short cycling is really a problem with a Lead Acid Starting Battery? Ideally I would put all the charge sources into the house bank and then just charge the start battery from that, however I can't do without and...

That looks phenomenal! Do you have any information on the heater you are integrating?

That thread was an interesting read, I'll plan to include a Class T for the House Bank after that read. Now I just need to figure out how to size it... What you are saying makes sense about the charger being a current limited device, I guess that also applies to the MPPT's and the DC to DC...

@Yellowtown The reason for having the solar flowing into Starter Battery is because AGM likes to be floated for long term battery health, and with the Orion TR I believe I will be able to flow that extra charge to the house battery. I am only using the start battery for starting and to buffer...

This is an overview of the system I am planning to install to on my 37ft boat. I wanted to get some feedback and see if anyone saw anything that concerned them?

Don't worry, two 4s batteries in parallel is what Steve from Overkill recommended it sounds like there have been plenty of people running this configuration with no problems. As far as why I could consider this @smoothJoey mostly outlined my use case with one addition I hope to add an...

Thank you this is super helpful, I will probably be going this route

Thank you for the real world experience. I just got an email back from Steve at Overkill and he does not recommend paralleling the BMS's on one set of cells. Looks like I'm going to have to find another option or send like the new Daly smart BMS does have low temp based on what people are saying...

I'm hoping to do this with two overkill BMS, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of actual real-world examples of people doing this which is giving me some concern.

Did you do any testing to confirm that it has the low temperature disconnect? There seems to be a ton of competing opinions on that

How had it been getting it set up? I'm a little nervous since the documentation it's a little unclear. If you can confirm you have low temp disconnect and what exact model it is that would be phenomenal

I am planning to use this renogy https://www.renogy.com/2000w-12v-pure-sine-wave-inverter-charger-w-lcd-display/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAjKqABhDLARIsABbJrGmDcU4eTj1kZGF8xvb1BHJihBRjqTtj4nzXDrmuGWRqWxzKxzUOwu8aAnG4EALw_wcB If it has its own low voltage disconnect I would be less worried but the temp sensor...

My initial plan was to go with the overkill solar BMS because of its simplicity and low temperature disconnect. However because of my 2000 watt inverter/charger it seems that the overkill solar does not have enough capacity. I considered putting two in parallel but I couldn't find anyone...

I have seen a few people reference doing this but there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus, hopefully someone who knows more than us can chime in

I am trying to understand my options for a BMS. I would like to us the OverkillSolar BMS but it is only rated for 120A, It seems like I need something closer to 200A? Could I put two of them in parallel on one battery? If not what are my options for a BMS that is programable and preferably has...
