Urgent. Don't catch on fire I'd you bought a 16s Daly bms

Out of the many dozens of Daly 10s, 12s, 13s,. And 16s I’ve imported in the last months, I just received a batch of 16s BMS and failed to realize they were liFePo4 3.6v max.

Do not plug in or use if you have lithium ion cells and charger. You will let the smoke out :grimacing:

All other BMS I have are perfectly safe.

Look for these Chinese symbols below

Reach out to me asap. 415 341 2281. Immediate refunds and I’ll come up with a plan b to get your project back on track

Wait I actually need a lifepo one? Do you have any 12s of the not liion ones left?

Edit: I think I read it wrong, you’re saying only the 16s ones were the wrong type

@BillGordon pin this for a day or 2? Would be very preventive

If you need a liFePo4. I’ve got you covered.

If you need 10 or 12s lithium ion. I’ve still got those.

Only 3 went out so far. Only one person received. I tested on my bench and let the smoke out.

But it’s 16s only huh

I’m for transparency. A good public service announcement. Cause i don’t read Chinese. Now I know what to look for.

technically 鋰離子 is the correct word for Lithium-ion, but in china they call it 三元鋰 for whatever reason.

磷酸鐵鋰 = LiFePO4, that one they got it right

Edit: im chinese btw, if u ever need help (please keep in mind about time zone stuff)

No. Just bridge the unused pins together and wire to the positive terminal,. And it’s good

Is there such a big difference in cost that would justify not always buying 16s bms?

Doesn’t look like the 16s in the pic is any bigger? Hell, my 12s smart is around twice that :joy:

It’s weird how they push the liFePo4 on AliExpress and don’t even list the li-ion version. @kubbur My experience is you ask for the li-ion on the liFePo4 page then they supply the liion version.

It always had the English text. Are they squirming from even providing a replacement or being good about it?

Okay so I have this 12s Daly that has the same Chinese writing as your 16s LiFePo4 Daly. The AliExpress listing says Li-ion as well as LiFePo.

@kevingraehl can you forward this to your WeChat friend?
