Has anyone done and/or how do you disable (or disconnect) the heating pads from a SOK 12v 206ah battery?
Since the SOK battery box cover is removable, I figure the heaters can get unplugged from the BMS.
All of my batteries are SOK non-heated so I don't have anything to go by. I looked at Will's video where he tore down a SOK and the heaters look plug and play. I did contact SOK directly and they said the heaters can be disabled/unplugged but didn't offer any insite otherwise.
With the heaters unplugged would the low temp charging protection kick in at 32F instead of turning on the heaters??? Or would the charging continue as the BMS would try to engage the heaters...instead of activating the low temp protection???
Thanks.
