ok, i'm stuck, i've been reading forums, and changning settings, and it's Vodoo.
I have a 150a JKBMS, 280Ah, 15cell, LiFepo4 battery, that we swapped out for old Lead Acid, 8v x 6 cells.
I think we top balanced them, but not sure, but we did have them on an active balancer in the shop for a few weeks.
it seemed to work fine, but, 2 days ago, it didn't want to take a charge. We fiddled with some settings, unplugged, and plugged it in a few times, and it came up. But, to be hones, we couldn't recreate the problem. But, we were happy.
Now, after running it down a bit, we can't get it to take a charge any more. We are still using the original charger, which I think is 48v, (assuming it is slightly higher to get the old Lead Acid charged, and it worked before.
We noticed 3 cells are much lower than the others as well. 2,6, and 14 Which occured after 2 days of running. they originally were same.
And nothing I can do, to make it charge. I think i changed every setting I could that made sense. Nothing. I jiggled all the wires, made sure it is connected, turned on and off Charging/Balancing/Discharging. I'm at wits end. Other than no charge, the BMS seems to be working properly.
What am I missing? what should I check?
