making mistakes so you don't have to...
After long concideration, I decided to go with the Chargery BMS16T 2S - 16S 300A
Chargery website have link to go to Alibaba or Aliexpress![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'll order the Chargery BMS16T 2S - 16S there.
Update: (09-03)
No Chargery, but from the same company, I ordered the "A/2A Active Balance Battery Protection Board Smart BMS"
It have BT, all options (except low temp?? and not yet CAN bus
the 24S 1A 300A model costs me $119.28
While it doesn't have BT, it does have RS232 !!!
Unlike the Daly, it also shows the information on the display.
With the Daly you are kept in the dark, and just need to cross your fingers and hope all works OK.
From my previous choice, the $72 BMS, this is $100,- more expensive.
It will protect $ 1600 on Lifepo4.
Lucky I have one DB9 Interface RS232 Bluetooth left over from previous project .

I'm not totally sure if it can work.
In an other thread I read that it can work with USRIOT RS232/485 to CPIP/Ethernet Server
on Aliexpress, low price of 36.47 incl transport

The contactors / relay's, I found a nice price, $18.74 include transport.
300A continuous use .

I will buy them, but probably never use them.
My Revo II MPPT Inverter have cut off voltage.
I am a bit worried about overcharge..
I can set the maximum voltage for charging to 60V, (real is 59v)
and it have special settings for lithium.
If the BMS decide the voltage is too high..., we go "dark"
I'll need to ask them if it automatically re-connects.
Only real protection I need is high temperature.
The rest is managed by the Revo II
and for sure, the BMS need to manage the individual cells and keep them balanced.![Thumbs up (y) (y)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
