Asked this already on another section of the forum but no takers, so apologies for repeating it here.
I have a JBD BMS (same basic idea as Overkill). 120A. I would like to run an inverter and control it via its remote switching port. From what I've read I can't really do this using the JBD, but there is a workaround possible where I put a relay in line with the negative bus and it would trip whenever the BMS trips. I'm probably describing that very poorly. The downside is that the power going to the inverter no longer passes through the JBD's shunt so the SOC readings would be way off.
Other than needing to add a battery monitor to know what my true SOC is, will this setup cause any other problems? And (short of buying a different inverter or BMS) are there any other ways to design the system that would be better?
