You should try to make this comment to Andy from Offgrid garage, is the only way the people of JK take care of user reports!

You could check Andy from offgrid garage, on his website he has a google drive link with all the firmware files.

I've no idea, but will stay here to know, bc i'm planning 3 units and the heating function is needed.

Saw the video yesterday! Amazing, thanks for sharing!

Will remain here. Double the 280ah price seems fair from my end, bc has 12000 cycles instead of 6000, so the price for W of the lifespan of the cells will be cheaper! Will see

I haven't found it, it's really new! If you get one, please tag me!

You should! You're going to have more attention on Github also! Nice job!

Looks like the PACE with 1-2A balancer. But at this point, could be good to! The only thing I'm missing on the PACE, is the active balance !

Any updates on this? How much % are you able to discharge? Cheers

Why 2 Victron 450/100 Tr MPPT R/S instead of 1x Victron 450/200 Tr MPPT R/S?

Do you have the link of these usb-serial? Thanks!

This is amazing, I'm on the design phase of my system for off grid (already did it for the van) and this is going to rock. If you need some betatesters, count with me. Currently, 2 packs of diy batteries with JBD bms + victron shunt, scc and inverter/charger with a pi2 (os venus). In the future...

Hi everyone, I have been here for a year, I was able to successfully install 2 280ah12v diy batteries with each BMS, 500w of solar, victron SCC, victron inverter and an Orion-TR to my sprinter van, and it is working absolutely well. I hope I can document all very well here, so somebody could...

Here I am with the updates! The SCC (victron 100/50 is super easy to configure) and the Orion TR to, set the absorption to 14v for all the appliances (SCC, Orion and Inverter) and all the cells are at the same voltage, also cleaned the connections and everything seems right. Will try a capacity...

I had the opportunity to return the Renogy DCC50S and I bought the victron mppt 100/50 for SCC and the Orion TR 12/12 | 18a for the alternator charge. This noon I will dismantle the Renogy and start checking for the wires and set the values shown in this message. I will update the thread with...

Will do. Will check it tomorrow morning and post here the results as you asked! At the moment the solar isn't connected (is going to a fuse before getting in the SCC), if I need to connect it, will change the setup to GEL, but then it has a float voltage, and as far that I know the lifepo4...

I can't appreciate how glad I am to receive all this help for you guys/girls! I will try to understand and answer every of you ;) I could be, but when I detected that I have two running cells (one of each pack, and I'm not sure bc i'm not close to the RV right now, but I think the running ones...

Hi everyone, Maybe I made a mistake, thinking that I was ready for a diy lifepo4 bank, I saw all the videos of @Will Prowse and also read his book, I had also the help of @FilterGuy (that I really appreciate) but something is making me crazy, and I wasn't able to find any related post with, and...

Will check it in the weekend! Its not the venusOs, its a rpi with debian runing a Blynk local server. Finally I will connect the Bms to an esp32 (will need to check how, t'he esp32 don't have usb I think i will be able to connect the wires directly from uart to the pins of the board) and from...

yes, but I want to know if somebody has done something with the UART or RS485 port to get data to an arduino/raspberry board! :)

I bought a couple of 120A JBD-BMS with uart port and the bluetooth module. (from Aliexpress, bc I'm in Europe) I don't like how to see the data through the APP (change between the bms...) so I'm planning to use an arduino board and connect it to a raspberry pi server (also it has my victron...

Thanks @HRTKD and @Sgt Raven ;)

Nice to know! Thanks for the answer! Thanks for the answer, will post when I got it.

Hi folks! I'm waiting for the BMS delivery and just figured out one thing... I have two batteries wired in parallel 12v (4s) + 12v (4s), because I need 12v and a high amp (200A), so I got 2 120A 12v BMS, both with Bluetooth With the App, do you think I will be able to change between both...

Thanks for the point, this forum is absolutely amazing, lots of knowledge and pretty good community answering and sharing info! I'm planing to use 8-6AWG wires (uv protected, rated for 65A and 87A), from the xt90 will be less than 3 meters, I will take a look on these wire loss calculators!

I have the 4 panels in parallel (because the solar charge controller, DDC50S must stick under 25v). Yeah, I know, lots of A in small V, but I have to. The idea of wiring 2P and 2P and then join it in parallel are because I don't want to get up of the limit of the mc4 max amps (30a). And I...

With 600W of solar on the sprinter roof, for the 90% of the days I'm fine (more energy than I need) I only want to charge from the alternator if I really need it (like a lot of days of clouds...), I believe that in this situation the alternator is going to be better, and the lifepo4 batteries a...

Thanks for the answer! So I have to install this switch from the main positive (starter) to the main positive (leisure), I had preferred to install a switch on the ignition wire (little on/off switch) instead of a big isolator. Thanks Reed!

You just gave me an awesome idea! I will have 600Watts and have to be on 12v, so mc4 connectors can't be used. So I'm thinking to use mc4 for connecting 2 panels with mc4 and the other 2 panels with mc4, and then will have 2 positives and 2 negatives, and I can use the xt90 parallel (2 to 1) to...

Hi, I have a Sprinter 2016 with smart alternator (E33 Battery management on VIM datacard). I know I have to install it with the ignition wire to a positive (only on when the engine is running), my question is: 1. If I put a switch inline the smart alternator wire to the DCC50S, in theory I will...

Will remain here, interested to saw the answers! ;)

That's what I imagined, but I would like to know how many W or A are getting in and out. Maybe the shunt is going to be the only option, I would like to avoid the shunt, but maybe it is not possible. Thanks for the answer!

Hi guys, I have ordered one of this BMS and trying to know if with the APP I will be able to see the Amps coming in and coming out. I know i can see the current Amps (but I guess is Amps getting in minus amps getting out, if i'm getting 20 amps from solar and i'm using 25 amps on appliances, I...

I'm in the same position as you. I have 8 280ah cells (2s2p, 12v, 560ah) and the same BMS. Will wait here to other responses.
