Flexi is charge only and I can’t find a link to order the diebiems

you cant order them
just sometimes the guy makes a group buy

@Chricious may have spare

not many bms are discharge and the ones which are tend to be below 100amps
why do you want discharge

Use a loopkey or antispark switch.

I want to set overdischarge current (100a) and discharge cutoff voltage (3.2-3.0v)

Dont, if the bms kills the discharge that will potentially kill your esc’s and may throw you off the board. Use your esc’s for the low voltage limits and set proper battery amps in the vesc tool.

You can set both limits on your VESC. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of value in a charge/discharge BMS if you have a VESC. You get short circuit protection which is nice. Is it worth the extra space it takes in your enclosure? I don’t think so. Though it may of course depend on a particular setup.

The thing is I want to connect a lot of lights to my battery, not through the esc so I want a way to cut-off at say 3.2v to preserve the life of the cells and prevent any drain from the lights when they are off/storage.

Bypass the battery for esc discharge and only use it for lights, thats my plan on my mountainboard.

but you still need a discharge function for the bms for your lights?

True, I know METR has smart bms support so Davega might also have it.

so you will look into getting a smart charge/discharge bms for your lights then? This is what I am looking for as well but the davega doesnt have general smart bms support. Only the flexi (charge only) and diebie (not in stock) which you cant get.

I have a diebie right here, but planning on using a smart bms and hoping davega adds support in the future since it has bluetooth built in I believe. Otherwise I can always monitor it through metr

This is what I was hoping I guess since I can’t get my hands on a diebie rn. Why use the smart bms instead of diebie if you have one?

16S or 18S which the diebie doesnt support, the upcoming ennoid might be an option as well

Im making a 12s so I guess the diebiems would be perfect for my needs? Can you set the cut-off voltage to whatever you want or its fixed? Like I want 3.2 or 3.3v because I have a massive battery and want to maximize cycle life. I know I can set the cut-off for the esc but not for lights with vesc tool.

It’s definitely configurable. Mind you, you’re getting off-topic in this thread.

BTW, makes sense to use DieBie if you’re after undervoltage protection and have loads for which cut-off voltage can’t be configured.

You’re right, sorry. @xsynatic Can you move this to derail or noob questions?

i don’t know where to put this, but

when u riding ur usual route and see some dark spot on the ground, fucking pull them brakes unless u can carve it away, there is a 87% of chance it being poop

and no, this time i stopped just about 5cm away from one, and im glad i did
