    As MPPT consider the new Victron MPPT RS https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-charge-controllers/smartsolar-mppt-rs-450-tr They can handle up to 450Wp with 2 strings At the moment they are only in 48v, but that reduces the cable size (and money) even more
  • Post in thread: Daly smart BMS issue

    Hi, I am new to this forum, I have a 24v 200A Lifepod witch I added a Daly 8S 100A. The battey bank is mounted on a cherry picker... The BMS connects to the app, I can connect with the laptop but there is no juice through the BMS to the load. How can I test that? What did I do wrong? Thanks in...

    An Idea would be to donate on Github Louis for his fabuleus effort :cool: But you have the same questions I had. Keep tracking this thread

    I can activate the Daly with the button on the status board. The bars will light up after 3 seconds pusing the button. At this time i am not pulling anyting

    Finally got the time to connect the daly 16S 250A to my 305 Basen batteries wih your script As suggested I removed the 10A balancer, to avoid conflicts. The Daly/Cerbo works fine with the supplied Daly UART cable, so no need for a (expensive) Victron cable or converter Now I have another set...

    Update. I had the time to look at it again. Stopped the discharge. Restarted it. No effect. Resetted it to default Now I measured 26v on the Anderson. Hurray! Thanks all for the input. I know a bit more of these bms' es

    You mean override the daly?
  • Post in thread: Victron VenusOS driver for serial connected BMS - JBD / Daly / ANT / JKBMS / Heltec / Renogy / Tian / ECS

    Is it an Idea to put a additional (active) balancer on top of the Daly? I found this one https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2-24s-mv-Precision-4A-Active_1600314957604.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.0.0.1f4e59a69bDnJO This has 4A capacity
  • Post in thread: Daly bms make communication with Victron energy via interface board

    @Damon YIP Please explian, why should I buy a board (link to that interface?) if there is another solution, witch works https://diysolarforum.com/threads/victron-venusos-driver-for-serial-connected-bms-jbd-daly-ant-jkbms-heltec-renogy-tian-ecs.17847/ I came to this thread because one of my...
  • Post in thread: Daly smart BMS issue

    I did the activation procedure by putting a 24v load on. Without that the BT would not work also isn't it?
  • Post in thread: Daly smart BMS issue

    Activate is a onetime operation I assume. The button is a wake-up button. Thats what I meant. The load side is divided by an Anderson 350A plug. There is also no power (~1 volt) so the Daly is blocking it. When I get there I will put the cherrypicker on 230v.

    I don't like a BMS witch doing its own mind ? Anyway sofar this forum is awesome. I'll hit the charger tomorrow. Thanks for the anwers sofar
  • Post in thread: Daly smart BMS issue

    Thanks. Is this a common issue? I bought it from Alibaba, ask the seller for the testing instruction
  • Post in thread: MPPT Challenge

    I yesterday fried a Victron MPPT 150/45, stupidly I assumed I had still 4 370Wp panels hooked, but I connected 6 of them. 230v dc was too much.. I know Victron puts in a fuse internally, but how to open such a case?

  • Post in thread: Why you cannot charge LiFePO4 below 0 degrees Celsius

    I use something like this to let the bank at desired temp, activating by a Victron Cerbo https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000454364722.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dMZDnH0

    So I can wait some hours resting before I set the my smartshunt to 100%? (like the TS has also)
  • Post in thread: Daly smart BMS issue

    The Anderson is prebuild by the supplier I measured from both blue (24v) and black (0v) the other lead I clamped on the + on the Anderson
  • Post in thread: Victron VenusOS driver for serial connected BMS - JBD / Daly / ANT / JKBMS / Heltec / Renogy / Tian / ECS

    Thanks for that, you are right... I forgot the daly to set the specs of the batterybank. I did that now using the BT and app. The daly and smartshunt are somewhat the same now. I let the firmware at 2.74 on the cerbo, since there is no major upgrade in the latest. Is it possible to display the...
  • Post in thread: Have I lost 20% of my new batteries capacity?

    First of all the shunt needs to know what is 100% It is measuring it using the peukert exponent. It should be set to 1.05 according Victron. My reply was when it should be at 100% because it also is looking at voltage
  • Post in thread: Daly smart BMS issue

    The hydraulic pump draws 70 amps according the service manual. But is only activaded after activating a switch. It starts to run, then you can pull another lever to go up or down. In this situation the amp draw will rise
  • Post in thread: Victron VenusOS driver for serial connected BMS - JBD / Daly / ANT / JKBMS / Heltec / Renogy / Tian / ECS

    Hi, I was wondering, did you update the Multiplus to the latest firmware? I did (494) and got weird outputs. This could effect the BMS also. Findings: 1 All my assistants/setups were gone, reinstalling I see now in remote 2 ESS releases. 2 In VRM I see sometimes weird values, battery drains a...

    Victron supports pylontech https://www.victronenergy.com/live/battery_compatibility:start I visited a seminar of them, and asked I they would build a BMS (in fact are cells dumm) Johannes Boonstra answered that Victron will not support that, because the expect problems generated by the cells and...

    I don't need to see them all, maybe the highest, lowest and middle voltage. But thanks a lot for all the work
  • Post in thread: Daly smart BMS issue

    If I measure on the + on the anderson and the blue wire on the daly I get 26v (being the - on the pack) On the - on the anderson zero. So it is pointed to the interior of the daly Can I see in the app whether the mosfet or relais is triggered/closed?
