At the moment I am collecting all the bits and pieces for a 12 Volt LiFePo4 battery bank.
My battery would be based on 4 pcs´s LiFePo4 320 Ah cells.
At this time I do already have a JK (JiKong) 200A BMS. (JK-B2A8S20P)
Would be easy to make my battery using this since already in my "workshop".
As many probably already figured out; its a 8S BMS and not a direct drop in to my 12 Volt battery bank.
There seems to be a quick fix to get around the 12 Volt;
I was looking at Youtuber Andy, Off Grid Garage, Australia;
In his videos he pointed at a 12 Volt solution;
Use of a voltage booster (in my case 12 Volt - 48 Volt) to make this work on a 12 volts battery bank.
Also pointed at a constant current draw in the 30+ mA range.
I still would like to use the JK BMS;
Many reasons;
Money saved since I already have the BMS.
Most important; For what I have seen the balancing function looks pretty good.
Also the APP looks to be a good one. Looks like there are functions to like..
Anyone out there tried this "12 Volt+booster" connection?
Any thoughts?
Any other 4s 200A BMS´s doing the same good balancing as the JK?
And also have the same APP?
