Hey all,
Been running this BMS 4s 12v for over a year. It runs like a dream. My battery is the 280AH. I just followed recommended settings at the time I believe.
I want to make this setup last as long as possible and I'm not sure if I'm taking this battery to 100% all the time. I want to limit it to 80 or 90% SOC so I get lots of cycles. Also, sometimes it sits full SOC for a week or so when I'm away and it's connected to mains power.
I have following settings:
Total battery Capacity 280000mv
Total Cycle Capacity 224000mv
cell over voltage trigger at 3600mv
Cell under voltage trigger at 3200mv
What should I change to ensure I'm max charging say 80 or 90 %.
Could I change the battery capacity to 224000mv, then do a discharge cycle and recharge. Then BMS will disconnect when the shunt counts to "100%" SOC?
Then when I do a big trip (vehicle mounted setup) and want to charge it up more, could I then change the capacity back up again?
I'm guessing the depletion SOC can only be controlled by cells undervolting?
Or is there another way or am I off track?
Thanks for reading!
