    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Update today - I had disconnected everything last night, and came back fresh this morning. Plugged the unit in, confirmed my PS was good to go, and recalibrated the BMS. Great news, I’m back in business! I honestly can’t say what the difference was, but somewhere along the line I will attribute...

    Not that I could tell, it seemed to be further in the unit.

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Grizz- that failure is still puzzling. I was unplugging the external power source to do some maintenance/rearranging of my cells, and upon pulling the plug out I got the pop/magic smoke from the unit. The crazier thing was that I was able to plug that back in, and the unit was seemingly...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Ok so I confirmed that the connector is good by using my power supply and dmm to check that it could read voltage through the cable. I’m thinking somehow this may be related to the sensor within the BMS. Pinging Jason @Chargery to see if he can guide me on how to check/confirm if that sensor...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Bob - yes, I have put a hairdryer load on in which I usually can see up to 60-70A draw when on high, no current registering. I do certainly see the voltage of each cell dip though. I’m going to really closely investigate the wire and connector, but they both passed my initial check when I first...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Bob - yes, my power supply can produce 10A and it does not register any current. Steve - the confusing thing is that I hadn’t changed anything except for the main BMS unit, and this had worked perfectly for me previously. I will be investigating to make sure nothing has changed there, but I...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Bob - yes, same problem. When I plugged in the new unit I was not getting any current reading, so I attempted to calibrate. The BMS is a BMS8T-100A, and to further complicate things I have a 300A shunt from when I first got the package from Craig on this forum last year. I was wondering if that...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Hello- I recently had to work with Jason at @Chargery to replace my main BMS unit when my previous one failed. Kudos to him for getting me squared away quickly, I am very grateful for his excellent customer service. Upon replacing the new unit, I have discovered that it is not detecting any...

    Epever 6415AN doesn't respect my settings

    Bumping this up - anyone else have insights on the delay between setting parameters and the settings taking hold? Thanks!
