    JK BMS battery amperage erratic

    Hi, I have a JK BMS 8s 200A on my 7.5 kWh battery. The amp current reading has always been incredibly erratic and unreliable. It jumps up above actual discharge and far below actual discharge, same thing on the charging side. Isn't that a safety hazard? If the BMS isn't reading the current...

    Growatt Fault code 04

    Sorry to resurrect this thread. Your issue mostly went away after the factory reset and reentering the settings? I'm having a similar issue right now with my LV2424 hybrid and wondering if the fix is that simple.

    Growatt fault code 4

    Welp, I'm not gonna do the update then. I don't see how there is any way that it's my battery since my BMS or shunt would tell me a low voltage... Hopefully we figure this out.

    Growatt fault code 4

    Following, because I have a similar problem that just popped up on my LV2424 Hybrid inverter which is basically the same as your growatt.

    LV2424 Hybrid Fault Code 4

    I have an LV2424 hybrid (green box) that has randomly started giving me fault code 4 (low battery alarm). It only does so while (and temporarily afterwards) I run a shop vac. The vacuum is pulling about 50A according to my shunt. According to the shunt, battery voltage is at 25.5v under 50A of...

    Fault Code 04 on LV2424 - Display Showing Intermittent Spike in Load

    Did you ever figure this out? I have the same inverter that just started giving me fault code 4 when I turn on a shop vac and the current goes up to 50A. My 7.3 kWh battery remains above 25.5v even under the load. It's not a low battery, it's at about 50% capacity and has the current and voltage...

    PV array not covering loads when battery is charged?

    I have it set to prioritize loads before charging the battery, but of course excess PV wattage goes to charge the battery. I'm looking at 07 and wondering if an overload occurred while I was gone, and just didn't reset because I have the reset disabled after overload. I finally got the...

    PV array not covering loads when battery is charged?

    Okay, so I got my solar panels installed last week. Today is the first day that it fully charged my battery. I am running into something that I don't understand... But I should explain my setup first. 1360 watts of solar LV2424 Hybrid inverter charger all in one unit (has MPPT charge controller...

    JK BMS BT error: Device is not supported

    Same features all still work. I haven't noticed any downsides.

    JK BMS BT error: Device is not supported

    I was able to make it work on Android 12 with an older version of the app.

    Top Balancing in Series

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I forgot to mention that originally the cells were at a lower state of charge originally and I did use 30A to charge till they were at a high SOC. After reaching a high SOC I turned it down to 2 A so it was only a few hours that I had to wait. Its good to know...

    Top Balancing in Series

    Okay, so I top balanced my 8 EVE 304 AH cells today. I don't have a constant voltage charger like the ones so many people use, so instead I tried something that I think should work pretty well. What I used: 8s JK BMS MPP LV 2424 Hybrid Inverter charger Battery shunt that I found on Will's...

    Voltage dropping while charging?

    Okay, that's good. I figured things were probably fine as I am not seeing anything else abnormal. The bus bars are still cool, and I don't feel any heat in the wires either. The BMS temp sensors are showing the cells to be about 24 Celsius.

    Voltage dropping while charging?

    Okay, so I have a 24v LFP battery pack that I assembled a little while ago and I'm charging it right now. The battery prior to charging was reading roughly 27.2v. I connected it to the inverter charger to charge it up and the voltage on the battery went up pretty quickly as it was getting about...
