    Cell out of balance: Can SBMS0 fix it or do I need to rebalance?

    Thanks!!! I am patient and given my usage the pack will probably be spending a lot of time at the top of the knee for a while. Plus I have too many other projects that need time right now. If anyone knows sbms specific settings that might help accelerate this I would love to learn.

    Cell out of balance: Can SBMS0 fix it or do I need to rebalance?

    I hooked up my 180ah 4 cell Calb bank after a long time in storage and unfortunately cell #3 is very low compared to the other cells. In case you can't see the image it is at 3.355 and the highest cell (#4) is at 3.605. I am fairly certain that this is because when a friend moved the bank one...

    I thought there was support for a 2nd PV shunt, but I'm honestly not 100% sure. The 60 amp anl fuse is built into the van. I added the cicuit breaker so that i can manually disconnect the charger as part of mothballing the system as needed. BTW, i like the CALB batteries but don't have much to...

    Hi, Based on some information I have found here I've modified my planned electrical setup. Primarily it seems I can't have anything between the battery positive and a shunt or the SBMS0 will go up in smoke. I've placed the battery fuse on the negative terminal but kept a switch after the...
