    Cell voltages not matching

    Yes I may have to replace them. It is very odd as these 96 cells are all in parallel so should natively balance each other, but they are not. I have managed to charge these individual cells a little so I know they will take volts. But they are not balancing themselves while in parallel which...

    Cell voltages not matching

    Balancer does kick in yes. They're 18650 Li-Ion. I have tried manually balancing but they don't seem to want to increase

    Cell voltages not matching

    I have a JK-B2A24S15P-CAN. Currently I am manually charging this individual pack to 4.2 volts. All the cells are connected to the central busbars, can't see any issues there, but these low volt cells aren't increasing at all. They're stationary. Confusing me a little

    Cell voltages not matching

    I have a JK BMS controlling the entire system, each pack is balanced via that. I have no further balancing to individual cells.

    Cell voltages not matching

    Hi all, Just got through the winter months and have been checking on the battery health and have noticed some odd voltages. One of the packs has been discharging to around 0.5v lower than the rest (2.9V vs 3.4V). Odd I thought, so today I have removed that pack to see if any cells are dead...

    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    I haven't got a local domain set in secrets.yaml. Is a local domain a necessity for this system to function properly?

    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    I will certainly give it a go. Never could get the normal WiFi settings to work but I will try again. Yes the temperature sensors are all ok. All the readings within the BMS are fine and acceptable, no concerns reading the data on the app. The extreme voltages are 42v to 58.8v, however, I am...

    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    Today I have tried both the Pylontech and the General lithium, get the same alarms weirdly. The general lithium allows you to select your charge and discharge amps, whereas the pylontech page required min max voltage to be selected as well. Strange why they ask this. My setup is a 14S 18650...

    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    Ok, so I have connected the system to my inverter today. After a little bit of connection issues with pins being the wrong way, I finally managed to retrieve data from the JK BMS through the ESP home. This data can only be seen through the logs so far. I have connected to the inverter, and the...

    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    Thanks for your response (sorry for the delay). So I managed to get it connected to the network (static IP only though. I have briefly tried it plugged in between the JKBMS and my inverter (Sofar HYD6000-ES). The inverter has a strange setting when using Pylontech, asking whether it is a US2000...

    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    Hi, firstly I cant thank you enough for this project, it has been something on my wish list for sometime! However, I am having a few issues getting the ESP to connect to internet whilst running your code. I have flashed the new ESP as instructed, but could only get it to connect via a static IP...
