My friend was looking at some YouTube video with a JBD BMS that had an output to drive a couple heater pads for the LiFePo4 batteries. It appeared the heater pads that were attached to sides of the batteries were connected directly to the BMS. Searching Ali Express has turned up some BMS options listed with a Heater but, the instructions I got from them showed only a single line out so, I'm thinking it is some sort of TTL switching signal.
A related question is what type of heater pads should I/he be looking for and how are they driven?
Other data points, he wants BlueTooth and RS485 output and a nominal 200A rating for 16x160Ah LiFePo4 batteries. I think the biggest problem we have is finding and understanding how to use the "heater" function and where to source the heater pads along with how to connect them to the BMS.
TIA,
Sid
