Hello! Looks like a very promising project! My headache is to combine 4 or 6 individual LiFePO4 16S packs together and use the whole as a power system based on Victron toys.
For the moment my experimental setup contains:
1). 5 x old Li-Ion 12S packs with no BMS(!) at all
2) 2x Victron SmartSolar MPPTs 150/35
3) 6 x 420 Wp PV panels
4) 1 x cheap chinese 2500 W inverter
5) Victron Cerbo GX with Touch 70
6) Victron SmartShunt 500A/50mV
For the moment all good.
New toys just arrived:
3 x Victron MultiPlus II 48/5000/70
32 x 324Ah LiFePO4 cells
...and the problems started: BMS solution. The plan is to add 32 or 64 more cells. The issue is i can't make bank configuration like 16S4P because i can't find proper BMS solution, DC breakers for the current required by 3 x MultiPlus II 5000 VA inverters! Fully loaded, they will draw like 300 A and can easily exceed 500 A in short periods.
The only solution i can see now is to split the bank to 16S1P units with 200 A JKBMS each. And here we go - 4 BMSs can't talk to Victron Cerbo GX just like that.
Is your project capable to gather all the data from individual BMSs and then provide Cerbo GX with correct data?
Many thanks for putting some light on it.
