I recently got a 12v 230 ah lithium battery. I did a load test to see if it could provide the 200 amp limit which specifications said it was capable of. In the video I showed how I determine the correct charging and float voltages, how to use DC rated clamp meters, compared the bluetooth bms...

Here is video I made about the Pace BMS Soc

I just made a detailed review of Orient Power 12v 230 Ah lithium battery . I opened it up and took a look at the construction inside, looked at the operation of the bluetooth app, and then began charging it with a power supply to see how well the SOC was calibrated. But the weather turned on me...

I have Jakiper batteries. I got some of the older generation ones that weren't as good as the newer generation ones they sell now. I have one of the Powerwall types which is pretty much like the Jakiper pro server rack battery. They use Eve Cells and a Pace BMS. Andy at Off Grid Garage has done...

Did you ever make any progress with this ? I don't know canbus. But the way I would approach it is that if Kilovault is able to canbus to inverters, then look for published data from those inverters . Many seem to use Pylontech communications Here is something that may hopefully be of help to...

I made a video showing my evaluation of SOC readings from Pace Bms used on my Jakiper / Orient Power batteries. My observation is that after a few days where the batteries don't totally fill up all the way the SOC gets off and should not be relied on. It could also be caused because the Pace Bms...

Andy on Off Grid Garage talked about higher power Pace bms from Gobel .

are you sure it has Pace BMS in it ? Watch Off Grid Garage videos on Jakiper batteries - he did some evaluation and testing of Pace BMS. Are you connecting to the RS232 port on it ? ( pace bms has rs232 jack) . That is the only way that I know that BMS tools communicates with bms. I have...

I think you can buy a Pace BMS from Orient Power . Look on their website or contact them. But I think Gobel also had a newer Pace BMS. If you want monitoring of Pace BMS Look at this project https://github.com/ClassicDIY/PylonToMQTT which is what I use with my pace bms on Jakiper / Orient...

No sarcasm - I believe you will have a very nice battery.

thanks - yes I am sure it will be better home built and with better bms

Goldserve - Looks like you are using the same Classic DIY Pylon to MQTT software as I do. I am wondering if you could send me a copy of the original SOK parameters that came with your batteries ? I would like to compare what is in those with what Jakiper has. It is the same BMS and using...

Let me know how the $ work out for building your own. I had a look yesterday at how much cells cost - and seems like $1500 to 1600 for a Jakiper 100ah battery all built is a pretty good deal compared to buying all the parts separate. Yes I realize that an active balancer is better but still...

The Jakiper BMS will keep balancing when one of the cells goes into OVP . You can get the software and tweak the settings if you want. As others have said , the passive balance current is very low. It can take a really long time to balance . If you want to try and manually balance it you can...

Okay thanks
