I used a known good one, just because if you pulled it out after a failed attempt itās a brick. 
I really did not look forward to the experience, even though I read the wiki and was warned about that part. Only reason I did it was because I wanted to have wake-from-CAN support.

Does the LTT BMS have to be always on? or is there. a way to power it off?
iām very slightly concerned about power consumption. (yes i hear you sayingā¦ āitās no big dealā )
but iām mostly just annoyed the bluetooth shows up in scans all the time.
No way to turn off the BLE as far as I know, but also it doesnāt matter, the draw is so low

Unless you have a 1p battery with microcells I canāt imagine it being a problem

I vaguely recalling thereās a port for a power switch that can be hooked up to it. Does that turn off the BT I have no idea 
, but likely you can reach out to them and ask. Theyāre fairly responsive.
It doesnāt turn off the bluetooth.
You could put a switch on the 5v line of the bluetooth module tho.
Yeah definitely next best thing
been monitoring my lacroix thats been out of service for 5 months with the cells at 3.8 . Hasnāt moved at all for me to notice. I think if your phone was fully connected to the bms (aka blue light lit up) then maybe over time there would be some drain on a small pack

BLE energy consumption depends on a lot of parameters, but when not connected is usually consumes around 100 to 500ĀµA, with peaks at around 1mA and lows at around 1ĀµA.
This really depends on how the device is configured though, and since LLT is closed source, we have no clue. Itās verrry low though.
Im really struggling to source some affordable wide nickel strips for my build (im from the UK). Does anyone have any suggestions? Im happy to buy in from China provided itās a reputable seller.
I just get them straight from aliexpress, so far all good and no steel.

Shenzhen Glacier tools Store
Iāve purchased from these guys twice and both times passed the brine and spark tests.
I think that steel city has been recoād in past too if memory serves. Donāt have a link for that store thoā¦
Edit- one thing I will say is that the above store did send me 0.2mm nickel when I ordered 0.15. I have a Kweld so that wasnāt an issue but caveat emptor.

Ye.
Iāve looked everywhere, and for the life of me cannot find the maximum and recommended values for charging current for the LTT Smart BMS. Can anyone advise?
Also, Iād like someone to clarify/validate my understanding of basic electronicsā¦
Iām building a 12S4P Samsung 40T pack. Each cell is rated at 35A continuous discharge, and 2A - 6A charging current. With 4 in parallel, does that mean my overall pack (I know the BMS limits charge current, but for arguments sakeā¦) has a max continuous discharge current 140A and max charge current 24A?
Also, another noddy question. If I have two Flipsky 6354s attached to my VESC, each pulling around 50A does that mean 100A coming from the battery?
Should pay more attention in my electrical engineering modulesā¦cheers
