Daly BMS gone crazy..Update Opinions
I was charging my 120ah lifepo4 battery yesterday and came in for lunch and saw it shut down..I figured it hit the 3.65 volt cell limit and shut down,I went out to check it and saw this on the Blueto...

With the BMS reading cell voltage and getting the SOC from that, how can it tell when the cell voltage is a lower loaded voltage and the SOC is actually higher? The AH counter doesn't get fooled by that.
The BMS is not a battery charger.
Do you have a battery charger that knows the SOC of your batteries?

I was asking about how the Smart BMS can monitor SOC when it has loaded voltages to work with. I know know it is not a charger :)
The lithium BMS that report SOC use coulomb counting, just like the Victron BMV. Even the cheap BlueTooth BMS from China have built in coulomb. Seeing they are usually measuring current anyway, it is a few extra lines of code to calculate SOC.
