No, it does not. It restarts automatically. Hardware version 6.x

Then why does it try to start? choose a 1w - it's smaller and could be integrated directly into push button housing. 0.25 - divide battery voltage by this value and decide whether such potential inrush current is OK for your system.

@GXMnow "Balance lead fail" was a test condition to see how BMS operates under it. It would be good if BMS just contuniue stay OFF in fault state until further manual restart. What do you think, @Nami ? "would pop those fuses first" What type of fuses do you use? As you can see from my...

Hello! Finalizing my repair story. My previous posts: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/heltec-jk-200a-smart-bms-with-2a-active-balance.17831/page-21#post-407457 https://diysolarforum.com/threads/heltec-jk-200a-smart-bms-with-2a-active-balance.17831/page-21#post-408008...

Hello. Update. TLDR: 1) BMS is faulty 2) Precharging resistor works BMS. Clearly a defect: If I turn off charging and discharging the board gets hot really quickly: I've found at least one dead MOSFET. Its gate is short circuited to the Source. There may be more (up to 8) around it, but...

Hello! Reading the manual from the GXMnow's link above it says: " Discharge ... when it displays "off", it means the current protection board discharge MOS is off and the battery is not allowed to discharge." So can I ask you guys to try this option in your bms? Because as I mentioned earlier...

@curiouscarbon Ideally yes - this is how it should be. But I have to use what I have. I know that bms can act as a solid state switch (for cell undervoltage protection it worked well). The only problem is that I don't know how to control it manually. Anyway thanks for your suggestion.

@Sanwizard @upnorthandpersonal Thanks for your replies. Resistors work, yes... but how can I explain to some one why would they need to have two switches and special order for them? It sounds a bit amateur-ish... Are there industrial solutions to make such precharge as a part of single...

Hello everyone! Need your advice. Main issue I'm trying to solve is the spark in the switch when connecting battery to the inverter. It literally melts/welds metal parts inside. I'm using fuse holder as a switch between battery and inverter: I know some one uses resistors to precharge...

Hello! What is the latest version of Android application? I have "heltec-bms-2.6.0.build30.apk" and "jkbms-3.1.0.58.apk". Just wonder which is better?

Hello! Any updates? Did they refund you or maybe BMS got back to life?

fafrd, thanks for reply. Unfortunately without knowing the root cause of your incident it's really hard to tell whether it was soldering issue of your particular board or it is design flaw itself. Maybe they are using cheap mosfets with high Rdson and overheating over long period of time is...

fafrd, could you please say what exactly got burnt on your defective BMS? Maybe make some pictures. What mosfets are used, etc.? Sorry, if you'd already answered this.

What's about phone app, how good it is? Ali feedbacks say it has bugs and many parameters can't be changed.

Sorry for offtop but what setup have you chosen?

Hello! Any updates? What was measured (or at least observed:) ) capacity? Can you suggest this product?
