Thats what I was thinking, but I read elsewhere that it heats up, should it be in it's own DIN box?

Hi guys, I just want a simple answer. I have an active balancer that has the run leads soldered. I want to solder those leads apart and put them to a relay or a switch or something so that it turns on when the voltage of my 48v pack reaches 54.4. When it does, it will turn on the balancer and...

So JBD it is?

I see, a bit overkill for a small home DIY solar system. I want something simple, clean and reliable (as does everyone) but not necessarily the rest of the features. I'll try the JBD again I guess, sort of sour taste in the mouth from the JK after what I experienced. On a side note, yesterday...

I see, thank you! What are the best options for BMS then, JBD, JK which failed me, and Cellmate K9?

None of the above

Yes. The two pigtails to the main negative other two to the negative on the battery case. All cell voltages showing properly.

I don’t think I did. I caught it when one of my cells was 2.5V. I’m not going to lose sleep over it but I was pissed. If 2.7 and 2.75 don’t do anything, it’s garbage.

Basically it looks reiable. I've already ordered the JBD, just looking for something that's bullet proof as my JBD ate the dust last time at 16 months old.

Not at all, nothing And balancing works at 3 but I’ll change it It does nothing at 2.75. Victron multiplus sucks more power or charges beyond

How hard is it to install an electro Daucus? Is it fairly straightforward like does it have the same little 16 S cable connector as say a JBD. Anything crazy about it? What kind of software do I use to monitor it? Can I use an iPhone app If not is there a Mac app

So, I don't know whether or not this is the case. All I know is SRIKO sells a lot of BMS so I doubt their stock is that old. On the other hand, the BMS looks identical to the one on the...

I am praying this is the case, but it really doesn't look so on my end.

Going back to the JBD BMS which lasted me one year. Serious considered the K9 but not sure how hard it would be to configure

Yes, all the parameters are set up, not just turned on. I'll get a picture as soon as I get back

https://srikobatteries.com/product/jk-smart-active-balance-bms-board-7s-20s-120a-0-6a-balance-current/ This BMS, ordered it, installed it, BMS turns on and it shows all cells and lets power through, but what blows my mind, is if the cell voltage meets the minimum or maximum cell voltage, the...

Hi guys! I have a brand new in box Victron inverter for sale, it’s the second one I have and it has not been used. I can do the transaction on eBay or PayPal and I am located in New Brunswick Canada, but can ship to anywhere within US/Canada My asking price is $1699 CAD which equates to 1281...

I hBave a basic Victron charge controller which allows me up to 150 V and 70 amps to charge current. Some of these warm sunny days I have my batteries charged by noon and I have around 3 to 4 hours of sunlight which could be used about 6 kW. How do I take the power that's being wasted by the...

Okay. So I'm working with eight 230 amp hour Eve cells. I have a 4S BMS which I would like to wire with the cells, I would like there to be four sets of two cells and I want to wire each set of two cells as parallel so each set of two cells becomes one of 460 amp hours. I have attached a photo...

Thank you all for your input! I'll follow your advice! A quick question, as I am making a 48V battery pack, how do I power some 12V fans that are cooling the case? Is it okay to connect to 4 cells only or will this throw the cells out of balance?

Okay, to confirm, I have not damaged my cells in having the voltages at 3.64V, correct?

Okay, so I've started top balancing my batteries about a week ago and it's a 16S 48V Eve 230AH battery pack. I have my bench power supply set to 3.65V (according to meter) and all the cells attached in parallel. The past two days, the cells have been floating at 3.64V and won't go much...

Nothing.

This may be the case! I'll keep charging, I got out my 48v 10ah charger and now I'm pushing 1000w in per hour so I'll see what this does. So I should keep pushing until the cells are at 3.65v correct?

My BMS is max 3.65V, but it appears the cells aren't going above 3.365, weird

16S battery is showing 54.01V I have been doing 4.72A in at 58.6V to charge.

Is it okay that my max cell voltage is 3.365V? I keep charging the batteries but the highest they want to go to is 3.365V, Is this normal as the datasheet says the max voltage should be 3.65 but my BMS is saying 3.365?

I found that I can click on the BMS read at the top left which filled in a lot of the parameters that I was then able to edit, but now when I click BMS write, it gives me an error: Error Value check for 'Cycle Count' failed. Reason: value is less or equal to 0 No Idea where I can change this...

I'm glad it's not just me

Hey everyone I finally got my BMS in my 16S battery installed and I’m looking for the safe settings for a 16S EVE 230ah configuration, any chance someone could share their settings?

Awesome, I'll wait until the JBD 16S comes and plug it in according to manual and bring it up closer to what it needs to be, what is considered around 90% full with a 16S pack so that I don't go too far and I leave enough room to top balance?

I already have them in a compression case and they're heavy as. Is laziness the right answer? To get in parallel I'll have to loosen them and they're already in a pelican case.

Okay, so I will discontinue charging right now and wait till the BMS comes. No problem doing it with the BMS though, once set up of course?

Hey there, I currently have 16s of 3.2V EVE LIFEpo4 cells, I am wondering if it is okay to charge them in series to bring them up to around 80-90% and then disconnect and do a top balance on the 4 sets of 4 cells? Is this an okay way to do things? And what voltage should I keep my bench power...

Yes, wheels on one large box might actually be the easiest depending on how much the connectors TorC mentioned are, and also it might be easier for a first build. What models of BMS are verified to have two sense lead connectors?
