newbie here i am trying to learn about BMS blue tooth apps to monitor and change settings Identify BMS ?
with out taking a brand new battery apart. if there is such a of thing that exist
i am going to be using Chins 24v200AH Lifepro4 to my understand app called EE BMS i have done little research from what i have gathered watching lots of y tube
Chins uses VIP BMS ? in there Bluetooth batteries . I Found after lots of digging Romer uses VIP BMS list A older version and newer. the newer version There app is very DIY Friendly. i am new to li battery packs of this size .I have a fair amount knowledge from E cigs DNA 200 25O .I learned the impotence of proper Battey ok battery batteries

May want to fix this terminology.

If a premade battery says it has Bluetooth it should state what app to use. You can’t modify the settings for warranty reasons but you can monitor it.
ok fixed spelling screw up. I listed the the app Chins provides in my post
 
If possible download the battery user manual from the manufacturer/distributor website. It should be a red warning if you are unable to get a users manual. Always download the manuals and software (if available) before making a purchase.
The user manual should provide you with instructions on how to obtain the app, oftentimes it's in the manual as a "QR Code" that you scan with your cell phone.
 
thank you
ok here is what i have found on the battery i have coming .
Specifications

Rated Capacity (0.2C): 200Ah / 5120Wh
Cycle life: 2000+ cycles at 80% discharge depth
Rated voltage: 25.6V
Charge voltage: 28.4V - 29.2V
Depth of Discharge (DoD): 100%
Standard charge current: 50A
Charging time: Approximately 5 hours
Max charge current: 200A
Max continuous discharge current: 200A
Peak discharge current: 600A (Duration: less than 3 seconds)
Operating temperatures: Charge 0°C~50°C(32°F~122°F),
Discharge -20°C~60°C(-4°F~140°F), Storage -20°C~50°C(-4°F~122°F)

my first attempt i tried 4 2s2p or 24v200ah 2560 watt
Rated Capacity (0.2C): 100Ah / 1280Wh
Rated voltage: 12.8V

Discharge -20°C~60°C(-4°F~140°F), Storage -10°C~50°C(14°F~122°F)
Impedance: ≤ 10mΩ
Brand: CHINS
Size: 12.95 x 6.77 x 8.43 inches

I Was having big problems with them getting out of balance.
quick even on smaller loads
i was getting tired of pulling the batteries out charging them fully and Ballance as advised by chins let the batteries set for 12 hours chk bank voltage if in range parallel all 4 let them set again battery's then 2s2p 2 in series 2pareal reinstall l thought at first there was
a problem with the 60amp Renogy Rover but using it and my panels reset for 12 v lead acid working great no problems at all
i even tried using the Victron 24 3000 120v 70 to charge them with charging perimeters set to chins spec the best i can understand them. with the exception i set the Victron at 50 amp max charge .specs say max charge 100 amps then they say standard charging 20amps
it seams to me the BMS plays big part i would like to learn as much as possible about them .
