    My BMS voltage readings and my multi meter readings are different

    I got the values to change. Using the Overkill App. No warning come up. Their was no power coming in and only a few amps going out when I got the app to work to make the changes. Had to press the write button a few times, but it worked. Thanks to all for the help.

    My BMS voltage readings and my multi meter readings are different

    I am using the overkill app and when I go to calibrate no warning comes up . I can input figures, but when I push "Write" it does not change the existing figure. Any thoughts?

    I haven't noticed the difference in the total voltage total as I was only checking cells.

    I think I have got a significant variation. 0.080 v Or is that nothing to worry about?

    My BMS voltage readings and my multi meter readings are different

    I attempted to do this. I got on the calibrate screen, entered the correct voltage, pushed "write" and nothing happens. Do the cells have to be at rest when this is done? Mine were discharging at the time I attempted to rewrite the voltages. I tried several cells.

    JBD Bluetooth

    It was disconnecting the two BMS, connecting the one not working on its own, it started working, and then hooking up the other one with it.

    JBD Bluetooth

    Thanks for the response Mister Sandals. I got it working. I disconnected the positive cable from the working battery and as soon as the battery with the BMS that was not working was the only battery hooked up it started charging and discharging. I hooked the other battery positive cable...

    JBD Bluetooth

    Still wondering if this is the problem. Would the resistance in the different wires cause my problem? One BMS has the two wires and the one not working has the one wire

    JBD Bluetooth

    Just checked voltage at the BMS. Probe from multi meter + on + battery post. -Probe on BMS B 53.25v -probe on C 51.88 Do these voltages look right? I am thinking the BMS might be another dud even though odds are against that.

    JBD Bluetooth

    The non working one is hooked up in series with the working one. All the charge goes into the working one. All the discharge comes out of the working one

    JBD Bluetooth

    Thanks for the answer. I am not sure what you mean by power cycled. I think it means charged and discharged. If that is the case, how do I go about that as no current is going in or out at the moment.

    Current naked cell prices - are they on the way down?

    I have just recently bought new 280ah Rept cells from Mark at https://lifepo4.com.au/product-category/cells-lifepo4/eve/automotive-grade/304ah/ I paid A$225. per cell. I think he may have a warehouse in Melbourne. He might be worth a call to check his prices and what he has. The...

    JBD Bluetooth

    I did have the two BMS's show on my phone app at one stage but could not connect to the new one. Now I only show the one BMS. I was thinking it might be because the blue light ( for blue tooth? ) is not on. It was on when it connected. How do I turn the blue tooth on , on the second BMS...
