I use a Wilson amplifier and a Yagi 14dbi way up high. Its a PITA to find a tower sometimes while overlanding. I have a lot of...

nice rims, bro

I'd like to see your setup when your done. How many ah cells did you get?

Its a V1 DIY pack and I'm on the 3rd BMS I've had for it. I did have proper connectors/terminators, but they went back with the wire...

Where are your ring lugs for the balance leads? You had this working then lost one of the two leads under cell 4 that provided power...

I think op was in a hurry just to see the thing work😉and hopefully go back and do it right after proving out. The one thing to remember...

what app is that from?

Yes, I am lucky. I cheated death and I'm grateful to be here to talk about it.

I had a really bad experience with 18650. 1 cell was less then the stated AH. I emailed, and emailed and emailed. After a month I get a...

That was the problem! Thank you!!

You only have a single wire to cell 4+? I believe there should be little red wire B4 AND little red wire B+.

Be careful that unused balance leads do NOT touch anything!

With B- (double BMS terminal) connected to the battery’s most negative ( same as the little black wire) and all appropriate balance...

I am not familiar with this "specific" model but: 1) If cells (any) are below 2.50, the BMS will not start up as it is below LVD. 2)...

That was voltage at the cells only. I tried measuring the voltage at B- and it reads 13.1V. The measurement at P- shows 6.7V so it...

Thats voltage at P- ? Did you disconnect bluetooth or is that built in? If you have same voltage at B- and P- the BMS is alive, and...

I had tried disconnecting the balance wire plug as well as the power switch wire plug. Also tried disconnecting the B- and then...

The wire plugs? The balance wires? I would disconnect B- an P- too. Then connect just the balance leads. Any bluetooth light or...

I had the JK 200A 1A BMS working while overlanding but when I got home the BMS won't turn on. I might have disconnected one red wire...

I use the Miady 16ah for my Engel refrigerator. Its been working flawlessly for 3 years. Its super light, small and portable. I use a 2A...
