That there is what happens when all cells get overcharged and not strapped together.
Well I almost burnt the house down. Time to ask for some help....

Interesting, if they were strapped most likely they will vent at some point, wich brings the question, its worse to have a puffed or a vented cell? ?
Ok...I get that. And good question about the adjoining connection. So if the battery vents I guess we would see a big balloon coming out of the vent hole...
But seriously as bad as that battery expanded I would have thought it would have vented. I mean aluminum can only stretch so far. So if the cells are compressed in a pack and balloon then what would come out of the vent? I guess it would be gas.

Search is a bit Borked here. your better off using the Advanced Search function and be specific, t still takes effort & patience. I find the search quite frustrating and IMO it hurts the capability of the forum.
This may be helpful:
Battery Compatibility [Victron Energy]
www.victronenergy.com
Th Victron Gear uses CANBus & VE.Bus to communicate & interact. I would think that any CANbus capable BMS could be interfaced, Victron has open-sourced that software so it can be done. There is a thread or two on here about doing just that... again the search feature has to be used.
There is a way to improve search, but it means taking down the server for a while and also relying on another server for search (with the current hosting set-up). I think it might be something we do in the future, but Will was (understandably) hesitant of making the changes.
Yeah the advanced search isn't much better. I tried everything I could think of to require both search words to be present in order to get a hit --- with no luck. I don't know who was in those threads so being able to specify the user doesn't help, and I'm not sure about the timeframe. How about the forum? Do you know which forum it was in?
Maybe I should head over to the Victron community forum instead.
We can fix it. I could do a mass email or notification and have the forum down for a day.

Build more, learn more.
Here are some recent resources on the subject of BMS/Victron equipment interaction.
Victron two signal BMS assistant for Multiplus and Quatro inverter/chargers.
This document shows how to configure a Victron Multiplus or Victron Quatro inverter to use external signals to turn charge and discharge on/off separately. This is very useful when using a Chargery or other BMS that has control signals for...

Victron VE.Direct non inverting remote on-off cable
These are the instructions for using the Victron VE.Direct non inverting remote on-off cable allow a BMS to turn your Victron MMPT charge controller on/off. This is very handy if you are using a chargery BMS and want to use it's signals to turn...

Sorry not poking fun at the situation, just the taking the site down for a day. If it helps, then it should be looked into.

Even though it was for a worthy cause, nice hijack..

Just a caveat that I learned from making the assumption that any CANbus device can be interfaced. Apparently the words each device uses needs to be translated for the other device to understand. Maybe the open source helps but it took more knowledge than I had because my devices did not have open source.

not sure about this... if the battery paskc are in parallel how does the BMS know that one battery is out of spec? i seem to se the same recurring answer... " so in so says its ok so its ok." props to whomever for his work but if it does not work it does not work. so for a 16s pack it seems to work, but if it does not work for a 2p, or 3p 16s, then it does not work. yes I am dyslexic... bear with it....

why so much anger? which camp do you sit in???If you can't help with the OP question why not stay in a dead lead thread and spread your wisdom there. Unless you like to troll.

why victron all the time... there are other solar controllers.. Morningstar for instance other inverters as well magnum...as many other pieces. this whole forum seems like a cash cow for a couple of folks. mind you if the results were not skewed, then i would gladly pay a subscription...want a couple of bucks... I can pay pall for your test results to date.... unskewed.
