    JBD + CALB Won’t Charge…

    Eh, good guess but I don’t have the software switch enabled so that’s not the problem. Thanks though…

    JBD + CALB Won’t Charge…

    I don’t see anything quite like this but apologize if I missed it. I’ve got 4 CALB CA100 cells and an sp04 BMS wired up and everything looks great. It’s one of six identical batteries in my house bank. The other 5 are working fine. This battery has been working previously. Noticed via BT...

    Detecting bad cells…

    Balance leads are all good… the second set of cells reached full charge this morning and looked great In 12v configuration. Started swapping cells from the bad battery into the good one and to my surprise each of them look fine, although a bit under charged for cells that just came off a top...

    Oh, this makes more sense after watching the video. I’ll test the balance leads and see if there is any voltage loss.

    Just scrambled the cells from (141,142,143,144) to (143,144,141,142) and got this… Thinking cell 142 is bad. Not sure how to confirm but am top balancing the other battery now and will swap out 142 when done in like 3 days…

    Detecting bad cells…

    Hello… Been racking my brain trying to figure out what’s going on with a couple of 12v Lifepo4 batteries. I made these “Will Prouse” style using 4 CA-100 cells and a JBD 4S BMS on each. 4 of them have been perfect and the individual cells stay within like 1/100 volt. 2 of them have been...
