    Question about Daly Smart BMS 500A s4p4 12V « nominal capacity »

    and to complete ... 100A BMS has restarted, the only option for the pack (100A BMS) would be to try to recharge the second one (500A BMS) and "crash" again as the charging current would be over the 100A BMS limit and the cycle would repeat again. The only option as I understand the situation...

    Question about Daly Smart BMS 500A s4p4 12V « nominal capacity »

    How would this work exactly for a 100A unit (In addition to 500A I've got)? I would imagine I'd run 2 x 608Ah packs (2 X S4P2) in parallel; one with the 100A and the other one with the 500A. or I'd run with S4P3 (500A for nominal capacity 906AH) + S4P1 (100A for nominal capacity 302Ah). Again...

    Question about Daly Smart BMS 500A s4p4 12V « nominal capacity »

    It's not like I"m on the verge of ordering the cells; I have them (Waited 2 months) fully charged and balanced (And waiting...). It's a homestead, so I need all the "juice" I can squeeze from each unit/cells in hands. 3PS4 is out of the question. What will I do with the rest (A full 12,8V pack...

    Question about Daly Smart BMS 500A s4p4 12V « nominal capacity »

    Thanks for the reply! -> You mean, ask Daly to make a customize "image" so 1208Ah would be supported? If possible, I highly doubt this would be done in a timely manner. -> I agree 100%. I was thinking about that last night... Everything would become "out of whack" -> And there's the issue...

    Question about Daly Smart BMS 500A s4p4 12V « nominal capacity »

    Since October 2021, I have been running my homestead with a S4P2 configuration (8 x 3.2 cells @ 302Ah cells -> 12.8V @ 604Ah) managed by a Daly Smart BMS 500A Which has been running fine since its inception.Now, I just received my second « batch » of 8 x 3.2 cells @ 302Ah and wanted to add them...

    What 280's do I buy from Amy?

    I agree. Will do (BTW, it is GREAT idea). I haven’t thought about that although they (Lion) had been all over the news since the joined investment from federal and provincial instances. Thanks again.

    What 280's do I buy from Amy?

    Volthium might have designed/developed/created/etc… the product but they certainly don’t « produced » them. Their lead time is a gimme as far as provenance goes. I also highly doubt they have produced the BMS (w/bluetooth support, etc..). The fact remains it is an excellent product but on the...

    Just ordered alibaba 280ah cells to Canada

    Hey brother of the Great White North, I’ve not pulled the trigger yet on my FLA to LFP migration so I’m eager to see how your experience will re-aim mine in terms of expectations/costs/delays/etc as I’ve been off the grid for the last 4 years in Forestville, Qc and due to change my batteries...

    FLA to LFP battery upgrade timeline adverse effects (If any)

    I guess if I keep my wiring the same lenght for each packs (Among themselves and connecting to other devices -> chargers, PV controllers, etc...) it would minimize the effect of the pack being different ages/usage. Thanks for the comment HRTKD.

    FLA to LFP battery upgrade timeline adverse effects (If any)

    I‘m leaning towards a 2-pack config now. Twice the number of BMS (Of smaller size/price) but 100% functionnality over time. As mentionned, here are some amateur schematics of my project... Fourth year offgrid, time to go LFP!

    FLA to LFP battery upgrade timeline adverse effects (If any)

    Thank you Steve_S. As mentionned, I was looking into buying a single BMS for the entirety of the project (Daly SmartBMS 500A common port) in the first « step » (8 batteries 280Ah for a 12,8V system -> 4 groups of [2 * 3,2V cells paralleled] in series for 560Ah). THEN, a year later, simply add 8...

    FLA to LFP battery upgrade timeline adverse effects (If any)

    Considering I intend to change my FLA batteries (At least some of them) by LFP in the next few months (Let’s say 8x280Ah in a 12V system), what would be the effects/consequences of adding the same number of batteries (Same Ah), 1 year later to complete the migration to LFP. Obviously, doubling...
