I know it doesnt matter but I would have made both wires black.I have several JK's out there setup like that, see below. No problems with it BUT I did use a Hydraulic Crimper to ensure the best & tightest crimps. TIP: Because the wires are silicone, use Heatshrink with adhesive/sealant, (call it lessons learned).

Thanks Steve for the detailed reply and great labeled picture. These batteries are going to be fantastic.I have several JK's out there setup like that, see below.

I have 5 of the 4.3" displays to go with my 5 cases. Amy said the BMS and 2 plates weigh 7-8kg. She will get back to me when she has the shipping priceSmall stuff (<2.5kg) and small package size, by air is not as bad as most think. I get things by air if it's small & need it fast and the bit extra it costs is better than waiting 6-9 weeks. Are you also getting the 4.3" screen for the JK Inverter BMS ?
A member here wrote a driver that can be installed on a device running Venus OS.I have Luyuan box as well, the wide version. I picked the 200A JK BMS but received 150A breakers from Amy. I wondered if I should get 200A instead? and does anyone know 200A has same dimension as 150A breaker? cause my box already cut to fit the 150A.
Did you guys change the silicone wire to tinned copper?
Btw, does anyone have better ways to monitor several JKBMS units aside check bluetooth one at a time? Wired all JKBMS to Victron shunt?
The 150A & 200A are the same physical size.I have Luyuan box as well, the wide version. I picked the 200A JK BMS but received 150A breakers from Amy. I wondered if I should get 200A instead? and does anyone know 200A has same dimension as 150A breaker? cause my box already cut to fit the 150A.

I chatted with Amy about a closed loop JK BMS for one of my batteries. I will also order the BMS mounting plate and a new face plate with the closed loop BMS cutouts. She only wants $19 for the two plates and the 200A closed loop BMS (JK-PB2A16S20P) is $112. But shipping is by air so it won't be cheap.
could easily swap out my 'older style' JK's for the inverter with new faceplate's
I believe the sense wire connectors have changed as well so not a plug and play replacement.Uh oh, that means I could easily swap out my 'older style' JK's for the inverter with new faceplate's...
The older version of the JK's have a different harness, they are not compatible.Uh oh, that means I could easily swap out my 'older style' JK's for the inverter with new faceplate's...
If one is doing a fresh build, e.g. new cells and or cases then this is a great opportunity to utilize the latest technology. On the other hand, this can also be a great opportunity for change if one is taking apart a previous build, checking and organizing cells and placing in a new battery case.The older version of the JK's have a different harness, they are not compatible.
For an 8S re doing the harness Isn't really a big deal if the whole front panel and components are being swapped out anyway, shame they don't use the same connectors though!The older version of the JK's have a different harness, they are not compatible.
Each segment has a Temp Sensor on the new models. If using 8S you get to use 2 Temp Sensors, if 16S you get 4.
At this time te JK-Inverter model is 100A/150A/200A.
A NOTE (general) If you have a 150A BMS that is all it will put out (by default) it will allow for a short surge pull for a second or two. That still means the breaker should match the BMS. 150A BMS = 150A Breaker and do on.
Guys, I'm having trouble with these ferrules. I'm starting to wonder if we should just put the wire in the breaker.I didn't get ferrules with one of my cases and I don't have a crimper for them.
I am getting ready to order these but if anyone has better ideas please let me know. Thanks
Haven’t started mine yet, but the silicon wire is a b*tch it expands so much when stripped it is hard to get it into the lug.Guys, I'm having trouble with these ferrules. I'm starting to wonder if we should just put the wire in the breaker.
I'm using 2 AWG welding cable. Can someone please show me what you are doing?View attachment 211678
