    How to configure the JDB heating pins (JBD-AP21S001)

    I did find on some other forum a description of some parameters, but have no idea how to access them, or even how to be sure that the heating function is turned on (I bought the BMS version that does support heating). Has anyone have any success with using those pins?

    How to configure the JDB heating pins (JBD-AP21S001)

    Hi all, Does anybody know if the bms allows configuring when the heating pins can provide voltage, for controlling relays/Mosfets for heating pads? Is it tied to the Low temp protection parameter? Or is it set at a certain fixed value? Cant find anything via the Bluetooth app and the...

    JBD BMS not balancing?

    I also have a jbd BMS, and had much better result with charge balance turned off. The reason, as I understand, is as stated that the BMS considers anything below 500mA as not charging. I have set, in my SCC, boost duration to 120min (starting when boost voltage (3.5v) is reached) In my setup...

    EPever model/spec confusion

    I use PC for my triron for lifepo4.

    Is MT-50 required?

    I would recommend buying the pc cable (rs485 to USB) It allows full access to all settings and the process is much quicker.

    JBD 100A BMS no longer connecting to Android after LVD

    Did you try to depower the BMS, or restart it (I believe by connecting the B- to C- lead)?

    MPPT controller, BMS and inverter recommendations

    You don't need a BMS for lead acid. Just don't discharge below 50% SOC. Microwave requires a 1500W inverter minimum. Two panels in series are below 100V (Voc), so a Epever with 100V / 10a would be fine.

    Log-in security in BMS

    You could remove the Bluetooth dongle.

    130ah 24V lipo4. What pv, controller,breaker size is best for complete off grid.

    Your panels would give you 5h x 600W=3000Wh on a perfect sunny day during summer. But in case of rainy season or winter (mutliple days of clouds) this would more like 5hx100W=500Wh a day. Your battery has 3100Wh, so you have 1.3 day of autonomy (too low). Your system cannot sustain 2400wh daily...

    130ah 24V lipo4. What pv, controller,breaker size is best for complete off grid.

    Without information about your expected load (energy usage) its hard to answer any of those questions. Whats the max Watt you will see? Whats the daily Wh usage? Will it be used all year? How many sun hours do you see at your location at winter (if northen hemisphere) All this can be checked...

    130ah 24V lipo4. What pv, controller,breaker size is best for complete off grid.

    So you can connect all 4 panels in series. I would recommend that if placed next to each other with minimal risk of shading. Please provide questions so it would be easier to know your problem(s).

    130ah 24V lipo4. What pv, controller,breaker size is best for complete off grid.

    A bit too little information. What's are the panel's Isc and Vsc? How will you connect them? What is the max V allowed by the Epever? What max load do you expect to see? What's kind of BMS? Overall the components seem compatible if properly connected What exactly are your questions regarding...

    Is EPEVER MPPT solar charge controller capable of low temp shut off?

    Its not accessable via the on board LCD, I use the pc connection via rs485. I don't have the Bluetooth adapter to connect via phone

    Is EPEVER MPPT solar charge controller capable of low temp shut off?

    I can confirm that my Epever Triron 40a Mppt does have a programmable low temp cut off that does work (tested using frozen salt water). I'm using the external temp sensor. I'm very happy with this unit. I use the rs485 port to connect to Arduino. Works great.

    Can someone tell me the difference between EPEVER 40a MPPT Contollers?

    I have the epever Triron 40a, it has a low temp sensor, and lithium profile options. It's has a modular design, I use the rs485 output to remotely read parameters (via microcontroller /w WiFi)). Overall can recommend it, been working for over 2 years without problems
