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...

The point with LiFePO4 is that you can pull 100% of their rated capacity out of them around 3000 times, probably more under optimal conditions (room temp, low C rate). Unless you need more than 3000 cycles, there is really no need to stop the discharge at 80%. There is plenty of independent research to verify this, that I have posted before.
A manufacturer may choose to de-rate (ie specify a lower capacity than what is available) their battery for multiple reasons - to prevent warranty issues for abused batteries, to account for manufacturing variability, to broaden the acceptable temperature range etc. All that really matters is that the battery can meet the manufacturers spec.
