I've just started in the battery world, and I've gotten a SOK LFP 100ah 12v battery and a 2000watt Renogy inverter. I've found that the Renogy inverter immediately trips the battery's BMS when I turn it on with no load. I've downsized to a 1000watt Renogy inverter with the same result. While I need to figure out this inverter issue and find a working startup method, I also need a better way to reset my BMS. Rebooting the BMS is a pain, as the only method I've found is to connect my AIMS charger and a 12v lead battery to the LFP battery so that the charger will recognize 12v and start charging, thus restarting the LFP BMS.
This is not realistic in the field, where I hope to be running loads from my battery/inverter while camping etc, and I may accidentally overload the BMS and have no good way to restart it without AC power and more gear. SO, i'm wondering if a portable jump starter could do the trick. The lead battery alone doesnt seem to reset the BMS, so I think it needs something more. Perhaps one of these? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...&linkId=3954f93148f549f199255d30efd0c052&th=1
Perhaps this will just have the effect of causing the BMS to shutdown due to overcurrent anyway? Is there some more portable method to reset a BMS?
