Daly BMS experience (a.aliexpress.com)

Hi all. Does anyone have experience with the BMSs from Daly? I'm looking to get a 16s BMS for a DIY li ion battery pack. I have a large box full of li ion 18650 cells and want to make an emergency battery system for home use.

That power outage in Spain motivated me to finish this project.

They tend to be not great from my reading.

You're likely better off going with JBD or ANT BMS. Both are on aliexpress.

I have the Overkill Solar JDB BMS and it's awesome. I've been using it every day for the 4S pack I built for my van. The Overkill Solar app is really nice and I believe it works with any JDB BMS even if you didn't buy it from them.

I definitely prefer the JBD app but it's nice that there are options!

Hmm ANT does have better documentation and differentiates between peak current and continuous current. They look more genuine.

Yeah, they have models with active balancing too for faster balancing.
