Overkill Solar 12v 4S 120A BMS w/ Low temp Charging Protection!!

Picture
Picture
I have been testing BMS for over a  year and many of them failed/were hard or impossible to program/heated up excessively etc. 

Then I found this BMS. It is used in medical devices and it's top quality. I tested the low temp charging protection, over current protection and voltage cut offs and it passed all of my tests.

What you need to know when using it:
  1. 1. Overkill Solar hosts the most recent app versions on the downloads page. Android users need to download the .apk file and allow 3rd party apps to install. 

    2. The standard 10ga wires get hot under constant load, so overkill solar offers it customized with 8ga wires, or with no wires in case you want to solder them yourself.
And that's pretty much it. You will love it. It connects to the bluetooth instantly and its easy to program how you wish.

​​And below is the APK file (to install on your android device) so you can program the low temp cut off settings:

Version 2 firmware:

Low Quality and Cheap Daly BMS (No Low Temp cut off, but easy to install)

Picture
These work great as a bms, but your charging sources need a low temp cut off.

This is still my go-to BMS for quick projects. I don't care for data logging or changing settings on my BMS, so the Daly works great. I am running them in parallel in my shed at the moment without an issue. Very simple and works well!

Some people do have problems with them. The new "smart" version seems to die easily. I would stick to the overkill BMS above. 

To activate a daly BMS, you must short out the P- and B- terminals. That will "wake it up".
