  * You need to correctly set your battery capacity to match the cells you are using. Your SoC calculation in your BMS will be wrong otherwise. If you use `120Ah` cells then your battery capacity will be `120Ah` etc.
  * You need to correctly set your min/max cell protection voltages. These are voltages when your BMS will disconnect to protect your cells like `2.85V` and `3.65V`. Your driver limits should be between these and NOT the same.
 
+### Daly BMS
+
+**Only if you want to connect multiple Daly BMS to the same RS485 adapter**
+
+Use Daly's Windows application `BMS Tools` to set the board number (currently not found on Daly's public site).
+Using the mobile app `SMART BMS` to set the board number will not correctly set it.
+
+Set a different board number for each BMS in the `BMS Tools` software and then specify the MODBUS addresses in the `config.ini` at the `MODBUS_ADDRESSES` parameter.
+
+| Board number | MODBUS address |
+| ---:         | ---:           |
+| `0`          | `0x40`         |
+| `1`          | `0x41`         |
+| `2`          | `0x42`         |
+| `3`          | `0x43`         |
+| `4`          | `0x44`         |
+| `5`          | `0x45`         |
+| `6`          | `0x46`         |

 ### EG4 LiFePower
 
 For EG4 LiFePower batteries, you need to set your DIP switch pins to 1 for the battery connected to the CerboGX.
