    Killed a cell Docan lifepo4 48v home bank

    Yes this was the biggest they had. Before connecting each cell they were all top balanced with a bench power supply. Good to know. Maybe my BMS failed in low power protection in that cell. Doesn’t make sense to me why it was allowed to be totally drained when all the other cells were totally...

    Killed a cell Docan lifepo4 48v home bank

    My BMS is a 5a balancer and I would’ve bought bigger but this is all they had. I do agree though - those leads are 20 gauge wire I think and I’ve got 4/0 coming in from my inverter/charger

    Killed a cell Docan lifepo4 48v home bank

    Thanks for the response!! I apologize these pictures are hard to decipher lol. I did balance all the cells manually with a bench power supply before connecting. Problem 1. was on the paralleling but I believe I solved that issue/found my mistake. Presently I’m more concerned with why this 16th...

    Thanks for the response. I looked over the batteries before setting them up and they had no indication of being used or damaged or refurbed. So far seller is super good. Same time I think I wired it all correctly. Appreciate your input thank you again!

    Drowning. Need help JK BMS B5A25S60P (have 2)

    That is great advice. I thought these were capacitors when I purchased them, the bot or whoever monitors their inbox in Alibaba suggested I buy capacitors so I assumed these were them. They look the same from the picture. Maybe I don’t need a capacitor? Thank you so much for the helpful...
