  • Post in thread: Is it normal for output to say when input is close to LVC?

    I have a small homemade portable generator setup comprising a 12V 36Ah deep-cycle lead acid battery (VMF DC36-12) and a 500W pure sine wave inverter bought from AliExpress (the brand says Carutu). I use it for backup power during power cuts. I have a hall-effect coulometer for measuring voltage...
  • Post in thread: JK BMS SoC self-learning and elapsed time reset.

    I have a JK_B1A8S10P (bought to save an old LiFePO4 pack of unknown capacity, probably around 40Ah and 7s so 22.4V). It's running great so far but being new to JK I have a couple questions that I can't seem to find the answers to in any documentation or forum posts: 1. Is there any way to...

    Thank you! Regarding 2 - Thanks for the tip. Coincidentally I had already seen the video so I'm aware that I might need to lower OVP to hit 100%, but for now it doesn't seem to be a problem with mine (I have the default OVP at 3.6V and it declares "fully charged" and cuts the charge mosfet as...

    When you say it won't last long do you mean in terms of runtime (Peukert effect) or lifetime (cycles/years)? What's a typical load (in C) for a deep cycle battery? I selected this battery after making a spreadsheet of specs of all the models available locally. The main constraint was weight...

    I've attached the datasheet of my battery. No published RC number, but that's easily estimated from the table in the datasheet. If RC is minutes at 25 Amps then reading off the constant-current table in the 10.5V row I get somewhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour. I get that C20 is determined at...
