The title pretty much says it all, but to give details.
I have a battery made up of 8 280ah eve cells, all ordered at the same time. It's running in a 2P 4S configuration. I was running a 250a Daly BMS that has gone belly up. This battery is in a van and is charged via a 60a DC to DC charger and a 30a solar charger. I have a manual shutoff switch that I can use to stop charging if I need to. I have a week long trip that starts next week and I could not get a new BMS in time because of the chinese new year.
Can I run the battery without one by just hooking to the positive and negative terminals? I assume I would need to manage the charging status of the battery myself (which I can do based on a Victron monitor that's keeping track of power in and power out).
Please let me know if this is possible and if it is, what I should watch out for.
I will not be buying a Daly BMS again, that's for sure.
