I've noticed in my packs of 16 cells (not single cells) that heat of even as little as 2°C effects what the pack contributes to the bank. Where I have two stacks of rack batteries 7 high and I see the cycle counts higher on the top packs. So much that I shuffled the top to bottom (I know...

Ok. I use "Alnox Electrical Joint Compound" at work, which has some grit in it. I'd think that grit would hold up my flat surface contact area. I use some other connectors that have blue grease in them and I'd like to find a tube of that. The nickel plated connectors (#4 lugs) are what I've...

With regards to dissimilar metals, what are you recommending for prevention? Nickel plating or maybe some gel like anti corrosion paste? My Basen-Green kits didn't come with crossover bars, so I had to make jumpers. Now I'm trusting my crimped connection. Any of the braided bars I found were...

I tested a couple of them and ran a test on one of them three times (all different results). My tests varied a couple Amp hrs and were all less then the EVE test (291 ~ 294), but more than 280Ah. I paralleled and charged the pack of 16 that had the test cells, but the others were assembled...

Here's the cell capacities on my last battery build and cell location. I'd say the cells are close in capacity, but not identical. 301.832 ~ 301.573 (as listed on EVE factory spread sheet). On 1st charge the passive PACE BMS balancer got them to 180mV ∆ at 56V pack charge, 4A Neey took about...

I was going for faster. Seems having the highest capacity at cell one and the lowest at cell 16 would cause all circuits to shuffle the difference across the pack.

I staggered my cells high-low-high-low.... My thinking is, the active balancer would move the charge between high and lows?

Good deal 👍, I'm out of the house now. Here's the video from Andy about the differences between the multiple software for the PACE BMS. In case others search this issue.

I'm checking an old laptop, found this. But I don't think this is the one.

Earlier on, there were two versions. One was for changing the protocols, Andy may have a link for Jakiper batteries?

True that, it won't read my 100A BMSes 🤔

As in, won't run on your PC or won't connect through RS232 ?

Have you seen this video? Off-Grid Garage DriveLink This is the one I'm using.

It might be your software, there were two different ones.

I've got a few PACE BMSes, I just don't remember needing to change that. I can check my newest ones as I haven't put them in a network yet.
