    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    The values are 0 on the monitor display or on the phone app? If it's 0 on the phone app, did the devices reconnect? If it's the monitor display, did something come unhooked? I just tried to update my firmware again, and it also said IAP failure. I'm not sure if it's because it's already...

    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    I think it's an RJ9 connector which I believe is normally used on a landline phone for the actual handset thingy (the coiled stretchy line). I don't have one to test with to see if it's the same size. If it was, you would need to make sure the wires were in the right order (mine is yellow...

    When 440 watt panels make 500 watts?

    I believe that would be "beer fog effect". My cloud edge effect and beer fog effect don't usually coincide, but when they do... Look out

    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    I had thought about the temp name. Maybe it could be an editable name, but not everybody will use that probe for the battery. My display also doesn't change to F, which I've sort of gotten used to. Kang was a vendor, so he was removed from the forum. We don't really need to get other helpful...

    what are these settings JBD tools V1.B

    I sent a message to my contact at JBD and was just sent a manual for the PC. I haven't read through it, I don't know if it's more than what you have or the same. The BMS's aren't built just for our use. They're used in a lot of vehicles and medical equipment. Some settings won't apply. The...

    BATTERY SELLERS - THE GOOD, BAD, UGLY -- or Jenny (DOCAN) so far so good ...

    I don't know about the website if that's where you tried to order. Contact Jenny Wu directly and I'm sure she can direct you to a credit card method. jennywu896@gmail.com

    what are these settings JBD tools V1.B

    I don't know if I've seen manual for the PC software from JBD. I wish JBD would update the software so it translates to English better. Is there some reason you are using V1.B? Mine is 2.9 I think. A lot of the settings will have to do with your cells and preferences. The picture you attached is...

    Placing order-final check in

    I payed with credit card through PayPal the first time. I just ordered another 16 from Jenny and paid with Cc through Alibaba. As long as the credit card is used, I'm not too worried. From China it should be 110 per cell, plus freight, plus transaction fee. Everything else is covered. I'm going...

    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    Well that's good they're working on it. It should be a pretty good improvement.

    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    Yeah sometimes mine doesn't automatically connect so I have to manually do it. My BMS is also Bluetooth and they randomly don't play well together, other times they're fine both connected. Was your app up to date?

    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    My unit is the KG140F. My app version is 1.4.25 with android. I had to delete the old one and rescan the code on the little box. It wasn't available in the app store and I had no way of knowing there was an update until I asked Kang about changing things in the app. It sounds like you might be...

    So I know it is probably stupid, but I have to ask this question

    I don't know what the scenario is anymore. o_O Now that I read through it again, I'm still confused, but I think shore power is used loosely as the AC plug in for the RV original 12V system. Wanting to plug Into the new 24V. He has other 12V accessories already from the 24V, so must have a...

    So I know it is probably stupid, but I have to ask this question

    I'm a little confused because the scenario was busted generator and in the middle of nowhere. But, if you had some access to a 120/240v utility, you would need a inverter/charger, or AIO that had AC input that accepted the voltage you wanted to plug into. 120/240. If you don't have an...

    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    They do seem really responsive to suggestions. I haven't had time to talk to Kang about it yet, but one thing I'd like to see is a way to save the daily in and out, or reset in and out independently of each other. I've tried to export the historical graph and it didn't really do anything. As it...

    JuncTek Battery Monitor vs Victron SmartShunt

    Upgrading the firmware is not very intuitive at least on my unit. A problem I was having is the electricity consumption and elapsed Ah moved together and I didn't really understand what it was trying to tell me. After speaking with Kang lee (lee@junteks.com), he told me about a firmware and app...
