Going on towards 2000 cycles on my off-grid CALB 180ah batteries and still going strong, I finally added a bms. I didn't think it was necessary before as I kept the batteries well within ideal parameters and times and info were different back then.
But finally I bought an Overkill/JBD bms. At the same time my Outback Hub and ethernet connections fried so needed a new monitoring system. So I also purchased Thornwave battery monitors - one for the inverter and the other for the charge controller along with the bms. These are really great monitors.
I have written a python program to utilize bluetooth to collect the data via a Raspberrypi Zero W from all 3 devices and display it via Grafana.
