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...

If I had an Odyssey it would only be for the chassis starting battery. I would have Lifeline for deep cycle.
The suggestion was in reference to BFL's application where he needed a battery primarily to support a 0.65C draw, but only for a few minutes at a time. A dual purpose AGM would be a good solution for this application with a Peukert coefficient around 1.08. The battery he ended up with seems to be around 1.3.
Jury is still out on the SiO2. I would still have Odyssey/Lifeline and know what I have.
Did the OP ever get the BMS situation resolved?
