Very cool that you seem to be making progress kommando. I hope to make the JK-PB2A16S20P BMS work with my Solark. But I don't find any posts from anyone who has.

I have 5 of the 4.3" displays to go with my 5 cases. Amy said the BMS and 2 plates weigh 7-8kg. She will get back to me when she has the shipping price

I chatted with Amy about a closed loop JK BMS for one of my batteries. I will also order the BMS mounting plate and a new face plate with the closed loop BMS cutouts. She only wants $19 for the two plates and the 200A closed loop BMS (JK-PB2A16S20P) is $112. But shipping is by air so it won't...

Thanks Steve for the detailed reply and great labeled picture. These batteries are going to be fantastic. I used lugs and busbars to make those connections before. :oops:

I am planning to use these Temco Butt Splices to connect my BMS to the battery. I will cover the splice with heat shrink tubing. What do you guys think?

I'm just tired.

No rush S.Davis I am not making rapid progress myself. I just try to keep my retired self amused while making my batteries easier for my wife and others to understand.

I am looking forward to seeing your setup. Are you using closed loop BMSs?

That looks awesome Steve but I think Mr GobbleBottom might be right. I hope you can make it work.

Make sure the busbars are flat with no burrs. They are stamped and some aren't flat. Clean everything with acetone. Put a thin layer of Ox-Gard or NoAlox on the terminals.

It will be interesting to see how much Amy will charge for a custom face plate. Shipping shouldn't be too bad.

I can handle fixing the cable if needed. I want to use closed loop with multiple batteries eventually to my Solark 12K

I will be following your progress. And I will probably order the new closed loop JK BMS soon.

I'm thinking about switching to the new closed loop JK BMS. If I do that, I need to order the new face for my battery box with the cutouts for the communication ports. I am going to ask Amy to squeeze a class T fuse in there too. Batteries are constantly evolving. These battery boxes will be...

I got that message too
