What is the password option for in this android App supposed to do please. I have set a code but it doesn't appear to do anything.
I am concerned someone can access my BMS data via bluetooth.
Thanks you
Thanks for the reply. So, short of removing the BT module from the BMS, do you know of any way to prevent the casual passer by from accessing my BMS and playing with the settings, potentially wrecking the batteries?Some people who have looked into it more than I have indicated that the password is really only used by the app on your phone. It is not actually used by the BMS.
From the indications, it is more of a pairing pass code to tell the app which one to connect too. If a new BMS shows up it will prompt you, otherwise it just connects.
Thanks for that. I think I set a pass code. It just doesn't appear to do anything.123456 is what they say to use. I couldnt get the app to work and show all the info. I found that the CarplugloungeBMS app works perfictly.
Too early to say. I am still in the process of balancing the cells prior to doing a capacity test.How accurate do you find the app? I bought 280ah batteries to make a 12v batteriy. I charged it all night and this morning I found the charger at 100% It was a agm charger and the battery voltage at 13.4v but the app says 128 ah Remaining.
The 128AH remaining means the BMS thinks you have put 128 amp hours into the battery. It will get more accurate after a cycle or two, but 13.4v won't get you charged, and you need to get higher for that. You can calibrate the shunt in the BMS using the PC software, mine got much more accurate when I did. If properly top balanced and reasonably matched cells, charging to 13.8 or 14v works well.How accurate do you find the app? I bought 280ah batteries to make a 12v batteriy.

It plugs into the same port as the Bluetooth, you just need the $7 adapter.The cells read 3.36, 3.35,3.35,3.36
The desktop app is only working if you have a com port connected. I do not.
Im charging now with a lipo4 charger but only 10 amps and it hasent gotten over 60%.
Battery voltage is 13.46V measured with a MM. and 13,4 on the app.
My BMS has B+, B-, and C-. I have C- connected to the charger and B+ to batt plus and B- connected to the Bat neg.
How did you calibrate the BMS shunt.Is it just a case of hooking up an accurate ammeter?The 128AH remaining means the BMS thinks you have put 128 amp hours into the battery.

I hooked up a calibrated 28 amp load, and a Riden power supply that is accurate for an 18 amp charge.How did you calibrate the BMS shunt.Is it just a case of hooking up an accurate ammeter?
