Thank you, I’ve done this. It’s actually part of why I don’t like these Overkill BMS’s. They randomly change settings on me. When I do this, it does bump the capacity up a tad, but nowhere near 100%.

Hey everyone, I have two BMS from Overkill and I’m not a huge fan. They’re always changing their values on me and such. Last time I was on shore power and had a fully charged system, I reset my Victron Shunt. I’m doing great with my consumption and maintaining a full charge every day, weather...

Is there some sort of reset I can do for the BMS?

Oh wait, you mean the 280. Maybe 3-4 months ago.

Just did it when I read your comment. I’ll look at the MPP settings when I get back home.

Where is the “charge” voltage? I corrected the cell 100% to 3500. When I topped off and balanced, they were at the 280 mark. At least per the BMS.

System - 24v 560Ah total - MPP Lv2424 - 1620W of panels Hello everyone, I just plugged into shore at 50A and my Overkill BMS is showing that the batteries aren’t charging to the full 280Ah/each. Any idea why this would happen? I also noticed that my Delta is way out of whack compared to what...

There wasn't much to change. A charge under temp and a discharge over temp. Not much to what I'm dealing with. I'll be taking the RV down to Phoenix in the next week or so, then I'll get a nice full charge from shore and see how things look then. I just can't make sense of why the Victron shunt...

Ok, so once I am able to get to a campground and get a full charge, then it'll stop showing up as zero? To be completely honest, I'm not really sure what my parameters are supposed to be on all these settings. I'll see about changing this though.

Hello, I have two BMS’s that are each hooked up to an 8s lithium bank. Total system is 8s2p for a total of 24v and 560Ah setup. I’m having issues when checking on the state of charge that the software keeps showing 0A and 0%. I open up the settings, change the battery size from 280000mAh to...

Couldn’t sleep, lol! After @time2roll’s comment, I remembered I had shut off the breakers when I was monkeying around with trying to get the battery situation figured out. Sure enough, I had the two 30A breakers off. Everything is working now. Stupid.

I’ll check the breakers and fuses in the morning. I was stupid and buttoned everything up before checking the generator.

Hey Everyone, I recently brought my solar online and everything finally seems to work…well, not quite. I’m on my first outing and tried turning on the generator with one of my old lead acid batteries since the lithium couldn’t do it. I got the generator to start, but it’s not triggering the...

I just hooked up the AC Input to the MPP and the low battery is charging. I’ll let it go as long as I can and then shut the batteries off for the week while I’m gone and just let the RV fridge be powered by the AC power. Maybe I just need to get the SOC closer and then they’ll stay together. At...

Because I don’t know what I’m doing. Lol. The one set is for driving the 12v side of the RV. The other set goes to the generator. To be honest, I don’t know why that’s needed other than it was attached to my old battery. I assume it’s to start the generator. Don’t quote me on that though.
