    Docan 280 EVE cells - 2023 Quality check (update: Bad experience - scam beware)

    Good luck with Docan, I had problems with a JBD BMS from them and Amy wasn't helpful at all !!! I am sure the batteries I bought from them over a year ago are grade B I won't use Docan again.

    Need help : want to ac couple to a Enphase grid tied.

    I do my AC coupling on the load side The Radian will frequency shift lowering the output of the panels if its not needed

    JBD UART USB module

    Has anybody change the sleep time on a JBD-AP20S003S-L20S-200 or other JBD BMS with UART to USB module? What I want is to turn it off, so it doesn't go into sleep mode. I set it to 0 from 65000 and the relay just goes off and on Now I set it for 30 days, but would really like it off. The problem...

    JBD losing voltage across solenoid

    I checked yesterday and that's the problem, right on the minute the relay released and it went to standby power consumption Radian went Ito charge mode, then relay closed again. Does anybody know how to set this? Or turn it off ? Thanks

    JBD losing voltage across solenoid

    Sunshine_eggo Do you think it has to do with idle time setting of 65000sec ? JBD says it settable , but not Sure where or how to do it Thanks

    LFP from Docan failed + the warranty experience

    Good luck with a warranty claim from Docan I emailed with Amy last night, I have a JBD 200 amp 48 volt BMS that has a intermittent 2.5 voltage drop across the solenoid Causing my Radian inverter to charge every day when it doesn't need too. She told me to send her a video and she would send it...

    JBD losing voltage across solenoid

    Has anybody with the newer style JBD BMS with relay had the same problem? I bought it from Amy from Duncan and doubt they will warrant it.

    JBD losing voltage across solenoid

    Yes it just did a charge and voltage is back It happen at least once a day. the BMS always shows the right voltage the Victron and my Radian show lower, when its acting up The Radian wouldn't be charging normally but the voltage drop puts it in charging range

    JBD losing voltage across solenoid

    My 16s 48 volt 200amp JBD BMS is intermittently losing 2.5 volts across the solenoid This one is a year old, I see the new ones don't use the solenoid anymore they use a relay Anyone else see this problem?

    Outback Skybox with AC Coupled Enphase Inverters

    I put a 86.74 amp and 4422 watt load on inverter IT read 50.9 volts before BMS and 50.99 at inverter a 0.3 drop Inverter showed LBV 50.58 It lasted about 4 min I can't think of a way to simulate a 130 amp surge Ill try again tomorrow and find more amps to draw, but it seems like with this load...

    Outback Skybox with AC Coupled Enphase Inverters

    This morning at 8:08 AM I had a Non Recoverable Fault Preceding it was a DAB-UVP Battery fault again than a Gate Fault As RCinFLA asked I reset lowest battery voltage, it was 40.65V So does this prove its the cables or BMS ? Thanks

    Outback Skybox with AC Coupled Enphase Inverters

    So my BMS and cables can't take that type of peaks, ill have to try and fix that Still have to figure out what event is causing it to demand that much from grid or batteries. I am not seeing high loads or high or low voltage from the grid at the event times, looking at Optics Maybe it to fast...

    Outback Skybox with AC Coupled Enphase Inverters

    The large transfer switch is from the main panel to the input on the skybox and the bypass breaker on the sub panel The normal breaker is coming from the Skybox load output The 4th picture is the Skybox BAS for wiring inputs I have a normal Enphase combiner box outside.
