Hi all. Can Solar Assistant with a Pi work with the JK BMS's RS485 protocol? Looking for a way to remotely monitor my battery that has a JK BMS attached.

Hi all. I'm in the process of adding a battery to my solar system. Currently have: 2x200 watt panels wired in parallel with a pair of Y cables. Panels are a 'no name' panel from a local supplier (I'm in New Zealand) so I assume they're chinese. The spec sheet doesn't give much away apart from...

Hi all. I made a boo boo and update the 'calibrating volt' setting with a figure that is not accurate. I have 2 meters but neither of them I trust 100%. Is there a way to reset this to what it was from factory?

Hi all. I'm trying to wire in a Powmr MPPT 60A solar charge controller into a system with a battery and an inverter. I am using a JK BMS. The issue I have is, the Powmr charge controller won't turn on unless it see's the battery. So I have to turn the discharge function of the BMS on. For the...

Hi all. I'm now back to square 1 trying to design my powerwall/battery. First rendition was to make 16P 'bricks' and connect these in series to make a 14S16P. If I want to add more capacity, I have to add another 14 packs of 16 cells and parallel them together. BMS balance leads (using small...

Hi all. I'm building a modular battery pack which initially is going to be in a 80L storage tub for now. Setup is 18x 14s1p packs of 18650's. Looking for ideas to join the + and - together for each of the 18 packs (this will increase as I add more 'bricks' to the battery. Don't need super...
