Please read all of it and answer the overall question, I'm not looking for specific advice, I'm trying to understand a concept.
I am looking at building and using 3 separate battery packs with Daly BMS
Why can't I just use the BMS as the shunt? Why would I need to add an extra shunt to the system or to each battery just to monitor that pack(s)? I feel like the BMS internal measurements will be as accurate or at leas accurate enough already.
To put this in context, I have been living off a 2s8p 560ah eve 280 pack with a daly 250 smart bms ran through a victron shunt to a multiplus all monitored by a CCGX/venuspi. In comparing the shunt to the bms measurements over 2 years, they have both matched up. Why would I need an extra external shunt then?
I am looking at adding 2 more 1p8s eve280 packs with daly smart bms as well as adding WNT boards to all of them.
