Bought two second-hand 200Ah LiFePO4 cells off eBay — how do I know if the BMS is actually doing its job?
@Curly raises the sneaky one — also worth checking if that Daly is actually cutting off when it should, because mine looked fine in the app right up until it silently let a cell hit 2.8V and I had...
