    JK BMS lost password - how does one revert to factory settings?

    A friend has lost his JK BMS software to change settings as well as getting into the device. I have heard about this special code valid for 15 minutes - who do you contact for it ? Is it the same for all or is the code different for every BMS. Could someone perhaps share the code privately to try

    Testing LiFePO4 Cells

    I also have a ZeTech and was also considering a testing methodology to apply over the lifetime of the cells ( annually probably ) and was considering charging to 3.425 V - perhaps even a cut-off of 0.01C and discharge at 0.125 C to 2.8V. Question I have is how do you program the ZKetech to...

    How to select cells in a xS2P battery

    I going to build my 5th battery which will be a 16S2P battery and I wish to pair the cells according to some methodology . I do have the ZKeteck battery tester and will test all cells for capacity and IR . Option 1: Match pairs of cells with the closest Capacity ratings or Option 2: Match...

    SVolt 184AH

    Has anyone tried out the SVOLT 184 AH blade cell ? I'm keen to find an actual discharge curve in order to determine if they will share current proportially with a conventional rectangular cell . Their chemistry must be slightly different as they can be charged down to -20 degC ( -4F ) and safe...

    Bluetooth extender for JK BMS

    I have a different solution - I am using dbus serial driver ( https://github.com/Louisvdw/dbus-serialbattery ) which is running on a Victron Cerbo . With this I can monitor all the cell voltages via Internet , just cannot issue any commands.

    JK BMS SoC

    I note you mention 2 cycles for the JK to adequately calculate SOC - now you say at least got down to 25-30%? I have one that went down once to 6% ( doing a battery capacity test ) and it seems OK, my other two have never been below 70% and they are hopeless. I want to try and improve them by...

    REPT 230AH cells QR code does not compute ?

    I have a come across a suppler for REPT 230AH cells locally however my concern is that QR code does not compute . It comms with labels indicating actually measured capacity and date of measurement . Are there differing QR coding methods? Do I need to be concerned ? Do I need to be concerned ?

    YR1035 Maximum Battery voltage for IR measurements?

    Does anyone know what the maximum allowable battery voltage is to make an internal resistance measurement of ? The unit can measure 99V DC in DC voltage mode however in one unofficial manaual I see a reference of max 28V DC for IR measurements and another Russian manual refers to a "buffering "...

    JK 150A BMS SOC jump when charging( but not 200A )

    HAve 3 batteries in parallel and usually discharge from 100% SOC ( according to well calibrated Victron BMV ) to around 70% overnight then recharge . One JK battery has the 200A JK and that is always within 1 - 2% of the Victron reading whilst the other two - both 150A JK's show correct...

    Bluetooth extender for JK BMS

    Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth range extender for the JK bms ? Currently all the extenders cater for audio data and don't know if they will work with the JK BMS

    About the YR1035+ meter

    CAn you make cell IR measurements with YR1035 of a cell in an existing battery - ie (1) all wired up and (2) when connected to to charger / or inverter. It should be able to as it has a very narrow 1 kHZ bandbass filter I 'm sure.

    JK BMS SoC?

    Thanks Steve , yes I am using 3.425V and often do not charge to that as it depends on Solar and my 3 day solar outlook. - if solar looks good for the next 3 days I do not charge to "100 % " often to only 70- 80%SOC - so not sure if JK proprietary algorithms will handle that

    JK BMS SoC?

    What algorithm does JK use to determine 100% SOC , there are various ways implemented out in the battery world and they all must include a "reset " as couloub counters will eventually drift to a point of not being usable - Victron use a both a voltage and threshold current , I cannot fathom out...
