Loving the ability to watch stats on how my batteries are charging. Can’t wait to see the discharging! ![image](https://foil.zone/uploads/default/original/2X/3/366575e3cfc0e9296429ed6d2739281e71ef3800.jpeg) ![image](https://foil.zone/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8ec19e3c0e7c35077d458f49f5031806a9b2e8da.jpeg) The iPhone app is available here: > **[‎Xiaoxiang BMS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xiaoxiang-bms/id1375405426)** > > ‎With Xiaoxiang / jiabaida BMS Smart BMS you can build simple Li-Ion or LiFePo4 battery packs.

I am using two packs in parallel so it’s 120 amps, which I think it’s plenty to fly (50% throttle on my Maytech remote). And I’ve been flying on two different boards now: > **[TC’s build in Tampa, FL](https://foil.zone/t/tc-s-build-in-tampa-fl/4506)** > > So despite being a co-founder of efoil.builders, I haven’t had a proper build yet… until now! • Flying Rodeo motor system • Flier 400 ESC • Jetfoiler prototype board • Custom 12s15p battery pack • Maytech remote • Liquidforce foil wings ... ---

Does this BMS have desktop software also? can you configure it for bot li-ion or lifepo4? ---

No, they do not have desktop software. Not even sure if they do Android, but they might. They do make versions for Lifepo4 if you want, but different hardware. ---

Yep, I am on hunt for 16s minimum 160amp bms with desktop software ---

Would this one work? Not cheap though. # Tiny BMS s516 - 150A/750A ---

This is a good one but it only supports up to 60 amp continuous and peak 150 amp which is not clear for how long can handle 150 amp. Other than that it is a very nice bms. I see online lots of similar smart bms but lack fo documentation and proper description makes it a gamble to purchase one . ---

> [@XSailor](#): > > Tiny BMS s516 - 150A/750A Auch , I missed that one. Believe You need to have some margin also on the BMS capacity if you use it for discharging, just liek with the esc. If used for charging only, much easier. ---

A very nice catch at half the price of the tinyBMS 15s 100A. The tinyBMS looks better designed though. Is it overbuilt for our application ?
