  • Cell voltage jumps when balance switch is ON

    It is a 1A Daly Smart Active Balancer.(Seperate balancer.) Battery : 51.2V 280Ah BMS : DALY Smart BMS Everything is reading correctly everywhere. Cell voltages are being read correctly by the bms and the balancer as well. One cell no.7 is quite above other cells and hitting high voltage...
  • Fake QR codes again?

    These are 280Ah cells. What is that welded round spot near the middle circle thing? Is that where original qr code existed before? Also the middle circle is not blue. Please is it safe to use these cells?
  • Active Balancer Start Balancing Voltage Confusion

    I have seen people say start balancing at 3.3V. And others saying anything below 3.45V is ineffective. Assume a battery pack 25.6V 200Ah (8x 200Ah cells) They're not balanced. But assembled into a pack and already in use. Daly Smart BMS+ Daly Smart Active Balancer 1A (Load is Around 300~600W...

I will be using a 25mm2 wire for it. And BMS is a 150A DALY Smart BMS. Inverter is 3kW. Is the voltage of...
  • PP Corrugated Sheet as Insulation? Is this good or bad?

    I am considering of use this as insulated sheet between each battery cells in a battery bank. Googling said these boards are kinda heat resistant to a degree. But I would like to know if its a good idea or not. (I cannot get Epoxy Insulated Sheets, the yellow ones sold on Alibaba in this time...
  • How to determine if a LiFePo4 Prismatic Cell is good quality or bad quality for SOLAR/Home use?

    As far as I know , 1. Cell Capacity (should be equal or higher than the Rated Ah) 2. Cell Internal Resistance at the terminals should be lower than 50mOhm 3. Cell Appearance (should be as flat as possible with no physical damage/defects) Is this enough to decide if a cell you ordered from...

  • Is this design safe or dangerous?

    I would like to know if this is a safe design for a 16s build or not. Some are saying it is bad to stack batteries like this. This is a vertical box. There are 8 cells per column. Will this damage the bottom cells due to the weight of the top cells?

  • I did a bad thing and now need advise to fix it.

    I did it several months ago when I accidentally shorted it with a wrench. It's all laser welded. It is a 51.2V 200Ah pack. The style is 8 batteries facing each other. Very difficult to work in that narrow area. But that damage on the busbar is making me worried to just keep using it. Any...
  • Why is there no individual Cell Charging BMS?

    Why isn't there a system where lets say a charger (inverter/charge controller/or anything) delivers the required voltage to a lets say 48V battery pack. The BMS of the pack takes this whole voltage, but it then charges the individual cells with 3.55V(or 3.65V) max with individual charging cables...
