I’ve read/heard other have issues after doing updates on JK BMS’s but other devices, inverters as well. I would assume you could skip doing any updates at all to maybe avoid issues if all is well? I’ve had issues with my main house inverters after doing updates. Once the issues were resolved...

I ordered my first JK 4s w/1A balancer for small 12v project to give lights and power for a chicken coop. Finally got it installed and running Friday. So far so good, no issues yet. No problem connecting or setting up. However YT videos are the only way to learn settings, installation etc that I...

Thanks for the info. I watched several of Andy’s videos from Off Grid Garage as well. Seems to work well if you can control them to work only when needed or at certain voltage levels etc.

Good deal. I assume it can only balance one cell at a time. Transferring from high cell to low cell. My assumption is that all active balancers do that? I haven’t done extensive research on balancers or BMS’s with active balancers.

Which box and where did you find it? What batteries? I’ve seen a similar charge controller on Amazon.

Great name!! BINFORD!! Used to like that show!! Nice set up!!

Trust me, I don’t want to share the thoughts I had, when I learned that…

That, I do not know?

A factory reset will reset KWh to 0. If you know the passcode.

I do not know what type or name brand it is. I’m not sure if those lugs were taped originally? I recently upgraded from the older 12 K models to the newer 12 K models. So when Scott sent his electrician out to do the swap, he is the one that put tape around the lugs. Not really sure why he did that.

Are you referencing something like this...
