Question: How reliable are the Overkill BMS pre programmed parameters?
I just finished building my 8s 24v 100ah battery pack using the Overkill BMS for it. It appears to be working great. A Bluetooth module was included, but I don't use a smart phone or anything that I can run its program. I purchased a UART USB box but I have not been able to make it work with the downloaded software. I get the "comm port already in use" error. Still trying to trouble shoot that. This is for my power wheelchair. Do I really need to concern myself, or can I rely on being able to install the battery and start using it? I have a yet untested 8S 24v 10a charger designed for this from Aliblablah. Can I just go with my gut and trust the BMS to protect the pack right out of the box?
