Yes, float mode is enabled on the jkbms. Do you have a system where the float mode actually works with your JKBMS? The only ones I have heard of are the Victron charge controllers The issue is more of a philosophical one: JK considers that the cell is at 100% SOC during the entire CV period of...

I would rather connect to the internal RS485 port than the external HDMI one, but in general I would like to voice support for getting a direct rs485 connection working with luxpower inverters (I use eg4 6000xp). A quick comment -- I noticed that with the wifi dongle trying to set 'charge...

There is good news and bad news: The good: There is now a firmware version 15.17 on the jkbms.net site: Furthermore, there is now a new android app verison 4.19.6 on the same site. http://www.jkbms.net/download_pc I found that if you update the new 15.17 firmware AND use the new android app...

AshleyL: Yes, feel free to share with Andy. It does seem that he is the only one who has been able to get a technical response out of JK I should share my current solution to work around this issue and allows closed loop SOC based control on the inverter with a JKBMS based battery: NOTE: It is...

There is a new tutorial on the SA website for how to get it set up. The tricky part is that SA _does not_ talk the JKBMS parallel protocol (although they claim they are trying to support it), so if you are connected to the parallel jacks it won't work. Instead, you need to connect the...

A brief update -- solar assistant released a new beta firmware and I am happy to report that JKBMS parallel mode operation is now working with SA. The connection is modified from the existing configuration (connect SA usb->rs485 adapter to the inverter RS485 port), instead you now connect the SA...

Hi- Can you report the changelog for the new 5.17 firmware available from http://www.jkbms.net/download_pc Does it fix the issue where the SOC is 100% before the pack is done charging?

I have not yet had a chance to try, but the meter ports (with the plastic plugs) should be on the main rs485 bus.
