    New 200 amp rated JBD

    My heater pads are lost in the post but as soon as they arrive I will install. Edinburgh is getting close to the 5c I have set for my cutoff so be interested to see. One fitted I will re-insulate my battery and let you know...

    LeadAcid replace with Lifepo4 in campervan - split charging.

    @mikefitz, all done working great, thank you so much could not have done it without you. Stirling B2B works great, just wish I can trickle charge the van as the battery always shows low on the PC180.. Noticed the new Stirling b2b's support vehicle charging...

    JBD 4S 200A BMS

    @DJSmiley thank you for your input, we do intend on using the van this winter if possible (but this will be the first time). I have my temp sensors between the 2 outside cells, which have 6mm poron between them compressed to 3mm. Right now our solar is only managing a few amps although our B2B...

    JBD 4S 200A BMS

    Your English is very good. What charge under temp will you use in reality.

I also want to add some insulation as my cells just...

    JBD 4S 200A BMS

    Can you provide the PN there are 2 versions, when I am not on my phone I will write more.. Mine came by default with discharge disabled, just had to toggle in the app. For my version of the 200A BMS it should apparently turn on when the low temp is breached but I have not tested this yet, got...

    JBD 4S 200A BMS

    Hi, It was in a PM on Alibaba from JBD, I think we all need to be careful here as there are 2 models. The one with the plugs and the ones with the h- screw terminal that I have. I will go with 2 15w silicon foils for £5 each...

    JBD 4S 200A BMS

    Systems build complete and running for over a week of travel. Not much sun in Scotland just now but B2B doing a great job of topping up. Runs my 3kw/6kw inverter no problem for microwave and water heater and induction plate plus other 12v loads. Fiddly to mount. Need to install the heat pads...

    New 200 amp rated JBD

    Hi, how did you connect you heat pads and how did you mount the BMS? I have the same. And with no mounting holes and wanting to use 70mm2 cables I am struggling... Any advise would be appreciated...
