    No more paralleling JBD BMS allowed - what now?

    Hi I did read the thread after posting here. Rookie mistake - should have read the threads first I guess. I think you were talking to the JK shop on AliExpress. I was talking to the JKBMS factory. They have confirmed that - with the addition of this parallel module - you can wire them in...

    No more paralleling JBD BMS allowed - what now?

    Hi Been dealing directly with the JKBMS Factory and it has taken all day but I finally got hold of some one who has some technical ability. So the latest model B2A8S30P (4S 300 amp ) can be connected in parallel but you need a parallel module. Trying to find out more about it and where to wire...

    Help paralleling JBD-AP21S002 7-21S 300A BMS

    Hi I have just discovered from LLT ( the manufacturers) that their BMS cannot be wired in parallel. I cannot get any sort of technical reason - just NO - sorry - not allowed etc. THis might be your problem. Just had a look at the technical spec sheet and parallel function is not allowed...

    No more paralleling JBD BMS allowed - what now?

    Hi Up until recently I have been happily building batteries (sporadically) and had standardised on the JBD BMS. When I went to order some more gear to build 2 new 12V batteries I noticed - in the spec sheet - these these were no longer allowed to be paralleled. This amazes me because I cannot...

    Change over time delay - Growatt 5000 ES

    Hi I had looked at that option but would need a lot of power ( crypto mining rigs) and with the cost of energy nowadays I want to run them off solar and battery. I already have the panels and battery just need an upgraded inverter system. Thanks and Regards

    Change over time delay - Growatt 5000 ES

    Hi Thanks for the response and throwing some clarity on the issue. Yes, I was asking about the transfer time - tossing up between the MPPSolar ( which boasts zero transfer time) and the Growatt. This will be replacing an older MPPSolar. Thanks and Regards.

    Securing JDB Bluetooth

    Hi Rather than answer multiple threads Inthought I would summarise. 1. Yes you can name the individual BMS to differentiate however the name lives on the reading device not the BMS. 2. You can secure the BMS by adding a pin to each BMS. You can go as far as a double pin if you wish. 3. The app...

    Where to purchase JBD BMS

    Hi I think these guys are the manufacturers and shitty web design comes as standard. When you go to buy you have to select either LiFe or LiFePO4 which leads me to believe no one has updated the data sheets. I have used about 10 of these BMS so far, from 4S to 16S and they have all arrived...

    New JBD BMS compatible Bluetooth App

    Hi I have recently found a new app on the Apple store that works great with the JBD BMS and has a (in my view) much cleaner display.
