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 experience finding signal and SpaceX Starlink changed everything.

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 when I returned the last JBD BMS. I'm going to re-design the box so that the inverter can be mounted to it vertically as well as mounting 12V cigarette lighter...

what app is that from?

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

That was the problem! Thank you!!

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 sounds like the BMS is stuck off or broken?

I had tried disconnecting the balance wire plug as well as the power switch wire plug. Also tried disconnecting the B- and then connected the balance leads then hit the power button and no lights or sounds at all. Also tried touching a wire to B- and P- and turning it on. I checked the voltage...

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 from the last positive end and reconnected it. Would that kill the entire BMS? I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the wire plugs, pushing the power button...

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 charger for it and it can take a good 4hrs to fully charge it from empty. I have no idea how many cycles it has, probably in the hundreds by now. On the...

Peel back the top black cover and check for serial numbers scratched off.

Springs would make sense to me only to unload pressure so that cell compression doesn't exceed maximum pressure.

Looks clean. Is that 1/4" plate? Why do you use springs?

Here is a doc explaining the acronyms https://www.gobelpower.com/download/JK-Smart-BMS-with-Active-Balancer-Instruction-EN.pdf
