My new 280ah cells are almost top balanced. I would like to do a capacity test once they are installed with Overkill bms in 16s conf.
I am completely off grid with no generator and no 48 volt battery and no 12 volt to 48 volt buck converter.
My question regards waking up the Overkill BMS from under-voltage protection.
Method 1: Temporarily change the settings on the bms so that it will turn on and allow the Victron Smart Solar 150-35 to start charging.
Question: Does this ALWAYS work?
Does anyone have actual experience with Victron Smart Solar actually waking up their bms from undervoltage protection? I have read that the Victron Smart Solar chargers can wake up a bms which is in undervoltage protection the very next morning when the sun provides power to the panels. Which means if it does work as described i wouldn't need to use Method 1.
But does anyone have actual experience that it works as described?
Because if those 2 methods are not definitely going to wake it up, then i won't do a total drain down to cut off point. I will drain down to maybe 56ah which is about 20%.
Thanks for your input!
