ANT BMS Hardware change wreaking havoc?
- Thread starter alfu
- Start date
The MyBMS app in this link, provided by FilterGuy, fixed the problem.
Which, of course, opened the door to new problems:
?️though an ammeter confirms cycling charge/disch MOS, the State displays are very ambiguous.
?️though the cell Type can be set LiPo, titanate, or ion the State displays "unknown", and none of the those characteristics propagate through to settings
?️the amperage reading with charge MOS ON is ridiculously high
?️with a 200mA balance limit, it will take a LONG time to see if it is actually balancing this pack with 0.3V ?️(here again, State display is ambiguous). Balance deck temp should rise, but it's not.

It IS balancing. The highest cell dropped 61mV, and ALL cells dropped 12mV or more in a 24hr period. But with only 200mA of balancing ability, I wonder if it is adequate for duty in a vehicle with old cells.
Good news is that control states and parameters persist even after the app is shut down. Parameters survive power off of the BMS itself, but require a bit of authorization finagling to reload.
One nice feature I "discovered" is that a row LEDs announce balancing status. But bafflingly, only during dischg. Yeah, RTFM.

Several ongoing issues, but not connecting. No problem with range either. Sorry.
Just to connect the BT, usually default passwords are 0000 or 1234.
