    Erratic & Erroneous Cell Voltages Whilst Charging - JKBMS B2A24S15P

    JKBMS B2A24S15P Readings for Cell 9 in the attached video are the culprit. Whilst charging with above 35 amps to 55.2v (3.45v/cell), the voltage is 'reported' to be widely fluctuating. Other cells also fluctuate but not to the same degree. 'Reported' because 2 different multi-meters across...

    420mV Voltage Drop across JK BMS - SOLVED

    Putting final configuration parameters in a new system and noticed a difference in voltage measurements between a Victron SmartShunt and a JK B2A24S15P. Battery measures 53.33v between cells 1-16. (Using two different multimeters.) BMS measures 53.33v. SmartShunt measures 52.89v and manual...

    Storing LFP Cells for 2 Months - SOC/Voltage Recommendations

    Have completed individual full cycle cell testing for 16 LF280K cells which demonstrate an average capacity of 307Ah (Min 305.3, Max 308.4, SD 1.1Ah). First full charge to 3.65v resulted in about 220Ah charged for each cell. Appears they were shipped at 21% SOC Nominal. On completion of...

    Dent In Cell - Is It Safe?

    Received this cell as part of a 16 cell shipment - no damage on external/internal of shipping box suggesting this dent was there when packed. Suspect it is OK - does not look like it punctured housing, IR & voltage are in normal range. Intend to capacity test this one outdoors just in case...

    What is acceptable Cell distortion for LF280K?

    Have just received a shipment of 8 LF280K cell from Amy at Luyuan. Unpacked first box of 2 cells and noticed they show some convexity on long side and concavity on short side. Interestingly, the convexity on one side not directly opposite convexity on other side. First picture shows top of...

    BMS in Series for Failsafe - Possible?

    My naturally cautious nature leads me to ponder BMS failures because they are critical to any LiFePO4 battery build and are a single point of failure. AFAIK Mosfet based BMS may/could fail with the Mosfets stuck in a charge or discharge state thereby leading to unpleasant outcomes. Is this...
