Hey All,
I'm new to all of this, and about to order the Daly 8s 200A Smart BMS (specifically the 200AcomUART485CANFan model listed on this page, it's an extra ~$20 for all of the connection features, so I figured why not?). After reading through the discussions Here: Daly smart BMS, my head is spinning a bit, and I'm hoping some kind soul can provide some clarity on a couple of things:
1) People are commenting on how easy it is to order a BMS for the wrong battery chemistry. As far as I can tell this would be the correct type for a 8s, 24v, 280ah, LiFePo4 DIY battery build, is that correct?
2) There seem to be mixed reports as to whether or not the BMS' settings can be adjusted by the user, and I see people recommending that you send a message to Daly with your preferred settings (temp cutoff, low voltage cutoff, etc) to ensure they get set correctly for your batteries chemistry. Any update on whether this is still necessary?
If so, I'd assume something like:
Cell high v cutoff: 3.7v
Cell low v cutoff: 2.5v
Total high v cutoff: 29.6v
Total low v cutoff: 20v
Low temp cutoff: 1 Celsius
Any other considerations I may be missing? Sorry for the newbie post. I feel like I've been cramming for my electrical engineering degree over these last couple of weeks. It's all fascinating, but definitely intimidating.
Thanks for your help!
