    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Update today - I had disconnected everything last night, and came back fresh this morning. Plugged the unit in, confirmed my PS was good to go, and recalibrated the BMS. Great news, I’m back in business! I honestly can’t say what the difference was, but somewhere along the line I will attribute...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Not that I could tell, it seemed to be further in the unit.

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Grizz- that failure is still puzzling. I was unplugging the external power source to do some maintenance/rearranging of my cells, and upon pulling the plug out I got the pop/magic smoke from the unit. The crazier thing was that I was able to plug that back in, and the unit was seemingly...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Ok so I confirmed that the connector is good by using my power supply and dmm to check that it could read voltage through the cable. I’m thinking somehow this may be related to the sensor within the BMS. Pinging Jason @Chargery to see if he can guide me on how to check/confirm if that sensor...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Bob - yes, I have put a hairdryer load on in which I usually can see up to 60-70A draw when on high, no current registering. I do certainly see the voltage of each cell dip though. I’m going to really closely investigate the wire and connector, but they both passed my initial check when I first...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Bob - yes, my power supply can produce 10A and it does not register any current. Steve - the confusing thing is that I hadn’t changed anything except for the main BMS unit, and this had worked perfectly for me previously. I will be investigating to make sure nothing has changed there, but I...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Bob - yes, same problem. When I plugged in the new unit I was not getting any current reading, so I attempted to calibrate. The BMS is a BMS8T-100A, and to further complicate things I have a 300A shunt from when I first got the package from Craig on this forum last year. I was wondering if that...

    Chargery BMS - not detecting current

    Hello- I recently had to work with Jason at @Chargery to replace my main BMS unit when my previous one failed. Kudos to him for getting me squared away quickly, I am very grateful for his excellent customer service. Upon replacing the new unit, I have discovered that it is not detecting any...

    WTS: Epever Tracer 8415an MPPT Solar Charge Controller

    For sale is a like-new Epever Tracer 8415an MPPT Solar Charge Controller. This was purchased from Amazon and used for about a month, in perfect working order. Also included is the Epever MT50 display, as well as the Epever eBox-BLE-01 Bluetooth module. These also both work flawlessly, and are...

    Bumping this up - anyone else have insights on the delay between setting parameters and the settings taking hold? Thanks!

    Epever 6415AN doesn't respect my settings

    I have read through this thread a few times, and want to get a consensus on something. Are others experiencing the same thing where the SCC won’t accept the new settings right away? Is there a typical time delay for the new settings to take effect? I’m starting to get frustrated with this...

    Epever 6415AN doesn't respect my settings

    I thought this may work, but my SCC is still ignoring the high voltage charge limit. Hmmm. I don’t seem to be alone with this issue!

    Epever 6415AN doesn't respect my settings

    Thank you for this! I’ve been struggling with finding the right settings for a conservative charge profile like this, my previous experiments did not work (SCC was charging above my “set” values). I am using the Bluetooth module to connect, the good news is that the setting that I input are...

    Help! I need a Chargery 8S balance cable!

    Oops! I accidentally pinched the balance lead cables when shutting the lid on my battery box the other day. When I hooked everything back up, the voltage reading were all over the place, or 0! So it’s definitely toast. I can order one from the Chargery site, but that might take awhile to arrive...

    Off topic... but help please (Gorilla Glue)

    Some people use dry ice to remove sound deadening from under carpets. That may help here, turn it brittle and then see if you can scrape or maybe chip it off. Good luck!

    First Build | A portable solar power station that isn’t ugly

    Loving this! It’s so cool to see each persons ideas come to life to address their particular needs. I’m brainstorming hard still, and have a cool idea I’m bringing to life as well. I may borrow a bit of inspiration from this build!

    Source for Relays for BMS8T

    Do those SSRs require a separate 12V supply of power, or are they activated directly through the leads from the BMS?
