I've got 4 lifepo4 cells and a daly 80a bms I bought about a year and a half ago, I just repaired the cheesey m4 terminals that I stripped before I could ever use it once and am finally putting it together (for the first time, no experience with this). I have an ISDT Battgo BG-8S that I want to attach to get visibility into the relative charge state of each of the cells, but it also has balancing functionality. The BMS itself is also advertised to have balancing functionality (although not sure how much I trust it). This got me wondering if it's bad to connect the cell meter while the BMS is attached. Like probably neither have perfectly precise voltage measurements and they might fight each other trying to balance the battery to their own perceptions.
Is this an issue? Should I avoid connecting the cell meter? Should I connect the cell meter but never use it's balancing ability? Am I making something out of nothing?
