Welcome to our channel! We’re excited to get into this with you guys, share some of our journey and knowledge of custom van conversions & Offgrid Power.
In this video, we're going to be talking through one of the issues that we faced recently whereby we had a Daly BMS that would not allow charge or discharge to the battery cells. We were able to troubleshoot the issue and isolate the problem. If you use a Daly BMS for your LiFePO4 and ever face the issue of having the Charge and Discharge Switch turn off and not want to turn back on, hopefully this video is helpful.

I am wanting to try a new BMS to see if that will get it up to 54v

    Hey there! Great video. I am facing an issue with my Daly BMS which I am using for a 4kWh modular battery pack. It shows the right cell voltage when the battery is not charging or discharging. But as soon as I charge the battery, one cell goes out of balance and while discharging, many cells go out of balance. However, when I check the same with my multimeter, the cell voltages are perfectly fine. Only the app is showing me an erroneous reading. Please help.

    Depends on the voltage of your battery. If you're building a 12v 4s battery, you can pull around 2400w through the 200A BMS (basically multiply the voltage by the amperage). If it's a 24v 8s battery, then it's 4800w, etc..

    Thank you very much. Today I ran my daly BMS and he doesnt charging battery (discharging works ok). Reset, changing setting - still nothing. After watching this video I deceide to switch off all - inverter, and battery. After restart all works great, BMS is charging and discharging. I was set max sum voltage to 56.7V on BMS but my new battery has on start 58V. Next they was discharged to 52V. Charging was blocked (in application is viewed as turn on [green]).This may cause of this issue.

I wanted to reset the BMS back to factory settings but it keeps telling me that feature is not available. I don't know what else to try any other suggestions. The BMS allows me to drain the batteries but not charge them. When the batteries are fully charged and I set the SOC to 100% it still won't let me charge I'm wondering if the BMS switch that allows charging or not is destroyed.

    I use different types of BMS for my projects. But only with Daly BMS i have a lot of problems. They are dying like a fly. The only reason why i use them sometimes is, that they (should) can handle a lot of current. but actually i have a new 500 A BMS that is not loading anymore (at the 3rd cycle). So the costs of a new one are 350€. 😫

You chose smart bms for many REASONS and one reason is balancing. You dont just balance during charge but you do it idle plus clunky and buggy app sometimes it charges sometimes it doesnt. new DALY bms i expect more but failed me.

    That is nonsense, because you have mainswitch after bms and before your devic3s and also fuses for each device. And if you cut off power you can see on the daly app whats going on. The problem of this daly bms are different they disabled without a reason and go never ever back to work. Also not without any devices connected. Also no communication wirh bluetooth and app. Dead a new one only after one day without big currents...
