Trophy battery
- Thread starter MCB
- Start date
I'm just trying to get this battery back to it's original state. I should also say that in order for me to remove the BMS, there was hazardous environment involved that static electricity and my hands could have easily set off. I wouldn't advise going this far into a battery. That being said, this is a DIY forum.

here in instruction video from seplos to add the heating pad to one of their diy kits...
0.48 you'll find the bms and connections for the heating pads : https://fb.watch/jJ9izeQaDx/

He is also sending me specific instructions from manufacturer for reassembly. Now to find that tiny switch spring. I did have to re-order some lugs. My busbars are 3/8, and the terminals on batteries are 5/16. I had a spool of 2/0 ultraflex in my shop, so that is what I am using for the system. The 2/0 lugs fit the terminals on batteries.
Single throw double pole would be 4 contacts. If it's 6 contacts it's likely to be a DPDT switch (though could in theory be a single throw triple pole).
So, something like this one...
Good on Dan to sort you out though with a new BMS but I prefer your approach... it does sadden me that these days no one fixes things... especially when it was a simple de-solder / re-solder job using a component that costs 72p (less than 1$). Good on your ex too... we need more ????

When talking with Dan, he was very adamant that the new 100a Battery I bought from his was NOT a Seplos BMS. The photo says otherwise though... lol
I'll be damned, that is the switch. If I get froggy, I might order it so I have a spare BMS.
Understood, good random example. I didn't think I needed a switch to handle full current of the battery.LOL - was only meant to be a random example... doubt if a reset switch would require much current. Most likely a few mA at 3.3V or 5V ??

look at it this way :
for those who own a trophy and a canbus inverter ( deye/sol-ark , victron, eg4 9k , luxpower and many more) they now know closed loop communication is possible, and they can find a how to in the resources section
they also know that they can use solar assistant ( or other tools that support rs485) to monitor their batteries both local and remotely

Hmm, I wonder if the Trophy Battery will communicate with the 2x Seplos 10E BMS's that I have. That would be sweet.

that i dont know, but no harm in testing, make sure you set the dips correct, and test
Same here. Dan told me with such confidence that it is isn't a Seplos - but I can talk to it with Selplos protocol, it uses the Battery Manager that looks like Seplos - and then the circuit board... looks like Seplos.
Either way @Lt.Dan or OP @MCB do either of you know what BMS is in the older 110AH CATL Trophy batteries? I have one of the 110AH CATL and one 100AH EVE and I can talk to the EVE one (with Selplos protocol) but I've been unable to interrogate the CATL one. It has a different screen than the EVE version (I like the CATL screen and menus better) but i don't know all of the BMSs out there well enough to know what it might be? Here is the screen on the CATL battery if that helps identify the BMS?
The battery I purchased from him In September, "48V100E-2UL Trophy battery" uses a Tian Power BMS.
