I still don't get the point.
1. Design validation.
2. Understanding all aspects of the BMS operation.
I would never achieve those goals through your static methods. You probably already achieved those goals through the years and don't feel any reason to data log. For most of us on this forum this is the first interaction with this type of hardware. Data logging helps to get a more detailed knowledge base. OK?
Why is capacitance relevant? A LiFePO4 battery is similar to a huge capacitor. The equivalent capacitance is simple to calculate from my graph.
Using I = C dV/dt, we can calculate C (since I and dV/dt can be derived from the graph). As the battery ages capacity is lost. This will be reflected in a smaller capacitor equivalence. This data is keep for future reference to see how the battery characteristics change in the future.
What settings did I change?
The battery was charged at a constant 56A. The BMS turns the Iota converter off when cell voltage reaches 3.48V, and turns converter back on when cell voltage decays to 3.37V. In other words, the cell recovers in the span 3.48V - 3.37V = 0.11V before it turns back on. Due to cell resistance and charge current voltage drop (V = 1.5 mohm * 56A = 0.084V), there's virtually no recovery. It's all eaten up by the IR drop within the battery. We now got a free running oscillator. The reset voltage needs to be lowered. The same issue exists with the discharge reset voltage.
My setup:
180Ah battery (4 CALB cells, new)
Charging sources: solar (7A), alternator via Renogy dc/dc (40A), Iota converter (55A)
Over voltage shutdown is accomplished by the Chargery BMS. There is no big disconnect relay. Each charging source is disabled via a mA (small) relay. The BMS initiates charge termination The charging sources have a higher voltage setting than the BMS. This enables a significantly faster charge.
Loads: Biggest load is the microwave. It takes 160A. It is powered by a 2500W (ReliableElectric) inverter. I have no plans to install a low voltage disable as the inverter is only switched on when using the microwave. It is only hard wired to the microwave. Otherwise it is always off. I have taken the cover off the unit and it's would be a simple mod to install a small relay in line with the on/off switch. The switch has a ribbon cable connection, so current is very small.
Otherwise, largest load is the motor for the forced air heating. It draws 8A. I'm still looking for optimal disconnect here. Perhaps a 40A SSR or 40A latching relay.
