Hi,
I am new here and need some help to choose a BMS.
I bought 8 Eve 280AH LiFePO4 3.2V cells from Alibaba, and I plan to build two 280AH 12V battery banks with them, that I will use for an off-grid system in my converted van.
I am new to solar and LiFePO4, but if I understand correctly I will need 2 BMS, one for each battery bank in a 2P4S setup, am I right ?
And here comes my main problem, I can't figure out which BMS to buy.
The 2 battery banks will work with this Victron Multiplus and its inverter :
Victron MultiPlus 12/800/35-16 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger
And those too :
Victron Energy SmartShunt 500 amp Battery Monitor (Bluetooth)
Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 50 amp 12/24-Volt Solar Charge Controller (Bluetooth)
Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-Volt 30 amp 360-Watt DC-DC Charger Non-Isolated (Bluetooth)
It seems to me that two 100A BMS will be enough, but maybe I'm wrong and I need 120A or 150A (or even more) ?
I have looked at the Daly products :
Maybe this one Daly Smart BMS LiFePo4 4S 12V 24V 36V 48V 30A 60A 100A 120A 150A 200A 250A 500A Li-Ion BMS 3S 6S 7S 8S 10S 12S 13S 16S 20S 24S ?
Or the CANBUS compatible one BMS LiFePO4 Li-ion 3s 4s 8s 13s 16s 12V 24v 36v 48v 100A 120A 150A 200A 250A 300A 500A LiFepo4 18650 daly smart BMS with CANBUS ?
Or this JBD JBD Smart BMS 3S 12V Li-ion Bms 4S LifePo4 100A 150A Support Series Connection Same Port Balance Built in BT Uart Heat Function ?
Or another model ?
Which one will be the easiest to use for a beginner ?
Thank you in advance for your help, and feel free to ask me more details if needed
