Building my first Lifepo4 pack. I have 4 little 25ah new batteries from batteryhookup.com and their Lifepo4 100ah 4s BMS. (I know the bms is big I won't charge at a high rate)
I made 3 buss bars and connected the batteries. I get 13.2v across the pack. Everything seems fine.
I hooked up the Battery Hookup 100a Lifepo4 4s BMS with the balance leads as follows:
black to main neg battery terminal
white 1 (next to black) wire goes to battery 1+ (same battery with main neg and neg bms lead)
white 2 to battery 2+
white 3 to battery 3+
red to battery 4 positive
Battery 4 has main positive. Battery 1 is main negative.
BMS B- wires connected to main negative
Voltage from the C- on bms and the main battery positive is only 12.3v. I hook up the Noco G15000 to the C- and the main positive, and nothing.
I move the charging cable to the main battery neg, and the charger turns on.
Everything seems to be ok, but the voltage across BMS is 1v low, and the charger won't work.
Ideas?
