Before attaching my BMS I did a multimeter lead test and the voltage increased as expected across the leads from negative to my last lead.
I attached my BMS and turned it on. The voltages were as expected. Wire resistances were the same.
I checked the voltage from positive to negative on the battery, it read 26.36v dc.
I checked the voltage from negative on the battery to the positive lead outside the battery box it read 26.36v so the breaker and wiring on the positive seems to be operating OK.
I checked resistance from the positive terminal of the battery to the positive battery case output. It read 000.0
I checked the resistance on each side of the BMS, attaching my leads to each negative terminal on the battery and then on the power side at the exiting negative terminal. Everything read 000.0.
When I checked the voltage at the battery case terminals it jumped all over, never holding steady. It fluctuated from 0 to over 200V dc. This is a 24v battery.
I am confused. Since the BMS is reading steady, I wonder if one of the wires exiting the BMS has a poor connection? Again not sure why I didn't get any resistance at that end.
Looking for help. Thanks in advance
