Hi all - I am waiting on my 16 * 3.2V 310Ah cells (for a 51.2v bank) to be delivered, so I'm doing some research in the meantime.
My main question is basically - how well does the Daly BMS work to actively top balance the cells when in use?
My plan was to initially (and maybe once or twice a year thereafter) break the battery pack down and top balance and capacity test 8s at a time using the iCharger...but if the Daly BMS actively balances (as in - does it use the sense wires to actively add extra charge to the low cells to get them to a same top SoC?), is using the iCharger at all considered excessive and unnecessary?
Side question - is the iCharger x8 supposed to come with the tiny long connector with all the sense wires? or is that a separate purchase?
Thanks in advance for any help!
