I ended up using the Daly BMS due to reliability, convince and easy wiring. They seem to just be a workhorse BMS. Waterproof and such, but I hope my rig is not underwater soon. Takes about an two hours to properly assemble each 12 Volt bank. But I am meticulous at doing wiring correctly.

It took me 2 hours to wire the S16, but I was kinda cheeting there..
I used
@ghostwriter66 tip to first use UTP cable to wire the cells, and then connect the BMS spaghetti to those.
Once that part was finished, it took me 2 hours to properly connect (solder) the 17 wires (16 positive, one negative) and protect with schrinkwrap.
Nice Job!!
It looks like the same 250A I have
Maybe smaller, the 150 or 200A?
For both, if you want to blast +150A with those busbars....
You are in trouble.
They appear way to thin to handle anything above 50A without getting HOT.
Nice battery pack!
And good to see you keep the "China margin", better buy 150 or 200A when you need 100A
I hope it will last you many, many years.
Daly is indeed known as "the workhorse", no nonsense "plug and play" BMS.
Personally, I like to see /monitor what's going on under the hood.
That's why I'm about to order also the smart 250A, to use together with the"not smart" BMS.
For me it's worth the extra money to know.
