    More DALY smart BMS issues

    Hi, I could not change the SOC on my Daly from the App on my phone. Instead I connected the USB-cable to my computer and used the "PCMaster" program to connect to the BMS. Here I could set the SOC %.

    More DALY smart BMS issues

    I got my rebranded Daly (Xenes) this week and installed it yesterday. The package contained all cables and also the light-board. I reused my balance-leads that I got from my Daly 8s that I never could get going. Plugged in the NTC, BT-UART and lightboard. Then I plugged in the balance-cable...

    Hi Ken, I have gone thru the same process as you are going thru. Buying a Daly BMS (in my case a 8s 24V 250A R32W-GA29), trying to get it to work. When connected with balance-leads and B- it measures from most positive on the pack to P- I get ~0,4V less than when measuring from most positive to...

    When I measure B- to P- with only balance leads connected on the ohms setting I get the following, 0,334Mohm Sounds a bit to much to me?!

    Sounds logical. Hard to update the firmware if you can´t connect to the BMS though. There is another port as well on my model with four pins (I think). It is next to the UART port and it is not labled on my model. Do you have this port as well timmeh?

    Not good. I can’t get it to activate/start. Have tried the beep-mode And the diode-mode. But it will not kick-start my BMS. I’m clueless now and I think that a new BMS is the only way out of this mess. one more question: I know for a fact that I have the correct Voltage on all my balance leads...

    400a daly bms not turning on

    9V battery did not work. Connecting B- to batter-minus and then balance leads and then diode mode or 9V battery did not work either.

    Ok, mine is a 2*1,5V. Do you think it wold work with a plain 9V battery?

    400a daly bms not turning on

    I have tried this now a number of times. Both beep-mode and diode mode. What type of battery do you have in your multimeter? Can it be so that mine is to weak?

    400a daly bms not turning on

    Does the BMS make any sound when turning on? My diode mode and beep mode is on different settings so I don’t think it will make a sound. But I have the light board and that should light up right?

    400a daly bms not turning on

    I seem to have the same problem as you had. I have a 8s 24V 250A Daly (R32W-GA29). When I measure my pack-voltage (without BMS) I get 26,7V. When I connect B- to battery most negative an measure to P- I get 26,2V. I tried your method with the diode setting on the multi meter but I can’t get it...

    More DALY smart BMS issues

    So, I’m back in my off-grid house to do some more testing with the BMS. The Beep-setting on the Multimeter did not do the trick for med. Just says OL and no beep. So, I read thru the instructions one more time an in step 4 (the step after connecting balance-leads but before connecting B- to...

    I did some more testing yesterday but no success. I have now read thru all the comments in this thread but it did not make me much wiser. I found this in the comment section on this youtube-post: Have anyone tried this trick with the Beep-continuity-test on the multimeter?

    More DALY smart BMS issues

    Hi, just tried to apply charge to the battery via the BMS (minus on the charger to P- and plus on the charger to most-positive on the battery). Set the charger to 30V. When I measure on the most-positive and the P- I get 31,1V and when I measure on the most positive and B- I get 26,7V. The...

    Thanks for your positive feedback. I will keep in mind to change the "sleep" setting if I get it to wake up.

    Hi, sad to hear that you have problems as well. When I check the Resistance I get 0,342. This is with the balance-leads connected to the BMS and the battery. So for me that looks good. The problem with mine is that it will not "Activate". This is still what I hope at least. I will try and...

    More DALY smart BMS issues

    Hi, this is the same issue as I have. I have been in contact with daly support and they say that it its necessary to connect the BMS + battery pack to a charger to activate/wake up the BMS. I don´t have a 24-30V charger but I will try to connect the pack-BMS to my solara-arry/MPPT this weekend...

    This is what I will try next (on Monday): -Check the balance leads again so they are wired correctly -Test to connect a Powerbank to the PC cable It that does not work I will try to hock up the battery-pack including BMS to my MPPT that is connected to 1kw solar panels. Do you think the MPPT...

    Yes, it’s a smart BMS. I have both PC and Bluetooth input cables. I have measured my balance leads so many times I have lost count. They all measure 3.3V. The power bank sounds interesting. If you find that forum thread please drop it here. And thanks again for your input and comments.

    I have a 24V battery so I would then need a PowerSupply/Charger that can do 30V or so, right? I don’t have a charger. I borrowed one that coul charge 15V by 30A when top balancing. But I guess that a charger of 15V can not wake up a 24V battery? The instruction videos say that you should be able...

    Thanks for your input. My biggest problem right now is that the BMS won’t start and Daly support is so sloooow. :-(

    More DALY smart BMS issues

    Yes mine have B- and P- very clear printed on the cables. My question was if it is necessary to have the B- connected to the battery most negative when the short is made? Or does it have the same effect to just short B- and P- without the B- connected to the most negative on the battery?

    I have read a lot of good things about Overkill and I have had a look at the BMS´s from Overkill. The 24V 8s model can only handle 100Amp discharge though. The Daly that I have can handle 250Amp discharge.

    Thanks for your input. When you say "short the bms B- and P-" is the B- connected to the most negative pole of the battery-pack at that stage or is that irrelevant?

    This is so sad. I ordered the BMS mid feb. and now waited for the Light-Board for another month. I saw that you also had a 24V 8s 250Amp Daly. But yours is called R32w-FL08. Mine is called R32w-GA29. Do you know what the last 4 letters/numbers are?

    I have looked again at the connections for both the temp-sense, the light-board and the Bluetooth (UART) and they are as far in as I can push them with a tiny screw-driver. And the balance-lead-connector is also tripple-checked. I can also add that I did a "Conductivity Test" for all the leads...

    I have contacted "Daly SmatBMS Store" and waiting for reply. I have tested both the PC and Bluetooth connection but I get nothing out of them. When I start the app (SmartBMS) I see nothing there. And when I start the PC software and connect the UART -> USB I get no life from the BMS either.

    Since the "LightBoard" was on it´s way I decided to wait for it to arrive. And today it did. So I plugged it in and pushed the button. Nothing. Nothing lights up on the board and nothing happens when I push the button on the lightboard. So when I measure all the 8 leads I get 3,33V and that is...

    Thanks for clarifying. So do they need to on permanent short between 6 and 8 for the BMS to start or just a quick short? I tried with tiny screw-drivers but it did not work. I live in Sweden and Amazon is not so fast here :-( When I measure from my most positive to my most negative i have 26,7V...

    I have a Daly 8S 24V R32W-GA29. I have not yet managed to start it. Tried with shorting B- and P-. And now I tried shorting the two pins (1 and 3). I assume that it is from the left you count. So first and third PIN from the left should be short? I have a lightboard on the way from china but I...

    Hi, I´m building a 24V Solar-system for my Off-Grid cabbin. So far I have 8 EVE 280Ah Cells and a Daly 250A 8s BMS on the way. I´m looking at the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 Charging Controller and 6 100W panels. I was aiming for the Giandel Pure Sine 300W Converter but it is out of stock...
