    Extend JK bms Bluetooth or other options

    I see that most comments are workarounds. Raspberrry pi, Solar asistant, home asisstant, venus and etc. I have and use most of it. But the question is simpler. How to just extent BT range? Just too put reveiver/transmiter on one end and another part and on the other part. That's bout it :)

    JK BMS: canbus AND/OR rs485

    I solve this problem. They call have this CAN/RS port. That port are preprogrammed from factory. You only can have one of them. BUT.... there is GPS port and it ALWAYS in RS mode :) (except you have to buy adapter ±10USD). So so you can order CAN version, but also have RS :)

    JK BMS 200A (350A peak). 2x 7AWG. HOW?

    Yeah... i'm somehow did not think about length. That's right. They are very short. Maybe super fine strand also makes sense. But silicone jacket? :) It does not acting in power transmission :) Why you mentioning it? :) Higher temp. resistance?

    JK BMS 200A (350A peak). 2x 7AWG. HOW?

    JK BMS, rated at 200A current with 350A peaks. Have two 7AWG cables on B- and two 7AWG cables on P-. How this is possible? Does anyone had a problems with it? 7AWG cable rated to 30-40A. Two of those will double accordingly 60-80A. Is it safe to use?

    Charging speed (bottom balancing) 14A instead of 24A

    How the hell i could miss that!! :D When was buying this bench charger, i've ordered it with 25A cables. So i was sure, that all ok with cables. But you are right, alligator clips have very small area of contact. Replaced now with 7AWG cable with ring terminals, and can push all 24A. can't...

    Charging speed (bottom balancing) 14A instead of 24A

    i'm totally confused. I have RIDEN 24A charger. I can charge at 3.65V and 24A speed. My LiFePO4 cells arrived at 3.29 and 3.30V. This means they are far away from full. I connected 16 of these cell together (all positives together and all negatives together), so i have one very large 3V...

    JK-B2A24S20P BMS Verify Password to enable settings change

    I also was thinking on how it can be time related. The only thing i can think about is that your BMS serial number is bounded to the phone application. And that code is generated for your application (if it's on the phone, it should have access to internet). So maybe it kind of your applications...

    Fuse or Switch? What goes first?

    Now it's clear !! :) thank you !

    Fuse or Switch? What goes first?

    By the way... how this fuse can work? My solar panels max amperage is 13.40A. Short circuit current 14A. And in the manual they say: "Maximum series fuse rating - 25A". So how these 25A can be reach, as with the short it only makes 14A?! :) And what fuse should i put there? 13.90? :D Bigger then...

    Fuse or Switch? What goes first?

    I have a question "what is first"? When cable comes from the PV, should it go first to the fuse or to the main switch ? I believe there is no big difference, but from your experience maybe there is? :)

    JK BMS: canbus AND/OR rs485

    Thank you for your reply. When i was buying it i understood that RS485 is by default build in and CANBUS cost additional few $. So i paid those few $ to have (what i understood) BOTH protocols. But now reading and seeing more i got doubt. Yes, i paid for CANBUS, so i have it. But do i still have...

    Hello, i'm looking for the answer and can't find it. I've bought JK BMS and got confused, and nobody can answer me. When buying i have chosen CANBUS version, because in the manual i found this line: "3.All models can support the following interfaces and functions:RS485 interface/CANbus...

    My SPD caused a fire hazard? what is the cause?

    Last week i've ordered some of these PVC enclosures. But somehow i decided to return them back and ordered 2,5 times more expensive, not so good looking, but 100% metal enclosures. And now i see this post!! Look's like i made a good choice. To the post author: lucky you, that your inverters...

    Growatt SPF5000ES ground/neutral bond (Europe 230V)

    Hello, I need help with Growatt SPF5000ES ground/neutral bond. The more information i see/find, the more confused i become. It looks like: a. ground/neutral bond is different in the USA vs Europe (please correct if i'm wrong), i live in EU. b. Growatt under the same name "SPF5000ES" makes two...

    Growatt SPF5000ES - efficiency depending on panels count

    Hello, I can't find information on Growatt efficiency depending on Voltage per string. I will give example: Lets say solar panel is 400W; 38V (Voc) Growatt max PV input is: 450V Situation1: 11pcs. of these panels connected to one inverter 11x38V = 418V and 4400W (let's call it 100%...

    New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    For the garage i have very basic inverter, that does not have smart features. It's quite old, modified wave 5000W peak, 2500W inverter. It's have auto off when battery low, but that's fixed, i cannon change it, and it does not fit for me, as it will turn off when battery will be almost empty...

    New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    Thank you. Statement is very correct. Your option might be very good as well. But in my case i already have 2nd and 3rd inverters (smaller low load). i have everything already almost working. I only need at this moment adjustable voltage switch, for on/off variables. With my preferred custom...

    New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    well, you've pointed in to very correct place, that i've missed out :( i just looked once again carefully and you are right. It passes only AC ±220V on all 3 rails, only the 4th port is for DC. I haven't bought it yet, i'm just looking for a solution right now. Found this device, it looked very...
