    How to turn on an active balancer at a voltage of 54.4

    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...

    Hard to install Electrodacus?

    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

    JK BMS failure

    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...

    How to take excess power when my solar system is full and use it

    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...

    4s build with 8 cells

    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...

    Top Balance Question

    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...

    Cell Voltage is only max 3.365V Okay?

    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?

    LIFEpo4 cell charging question

    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...

    LIFEPO4 BMS Question

    Hey there, If I am creating two separate 24V 230ah batteries using EVE cells and have two 8S JBD BMS, one in each battery, is it okay to combine the two 24V batteries to produce 48V? Is this problematic?
