I will occasionally have a need to leave a system unattended for several months. The LiFePO cells are great for this because 1) they don't need to be kept topped off (in fact it is better if they are not) and 2) they have a very low self-discharge rate.
However, having the BMS on the cells and burning of even a little power is undesirable. Consequently, the BMS should be turned completely off while the battery is in storage. Is there an easy way to completely turn off the ElectroDacus without disconnecting the harness?
Note: On the Chargery, I use the Bat-ext switch for this. (I am under the impression that if you are running the Chargery from the battery power, changing the power switch to external completely shuts off the system.)
