    JK BMS battery amperage erratic

    Hi, I have a JK BMS 8s 200A on my 7.5 kWh battery. The amp current reading has always been incredibly erratic and unreliable. It jumps up above actual discharge and far below actual discharge, same thing on the charging side. Isn't that a safety hazard? If the BMS isn't reading the current...

    LV2424 Hybrid Fault Code 4

    I have an LV2424 hybrid (green box) that has randomly started giving me fault code 4 (low battery alarm). It only does so while (and temporarily afterwards) I run a shop vac. The vacuum is pulling about 50A according to my shunt. According to the shunt, battery voltage is at 25.5v under 50A of...

    PV array not covering loads when battery is charged?

    Okay, so I got my solar panels installed last week. Today is the first day that it fully charged my battery. I am running into something that I don't understand... But I should explain my setup first. 1360 watts of solar LV2424 Hybrid inverter charger all in one unit (has MPPT charge controller...

    Top Balancing in Series

    Okay, so I top balanced my 8 EVE 304 AH cells today. I don't have a constant voltage charger like the ones so many people use, so instead I tried something that I think should work pretty well. What I used: 8s JK BMS MPP LV 2424 Hybrid Inverter charger Battery shunt that I found on Will's...

    Voltage dropping while charging?

    Okay, so I have a 24v LFP battery pack that I assembled a little while ago and I'm charging it right now. The battery prior to charging was reading roughly 27.2v. I connected it to the inverter charger to charge it up and the voltage on the battery went up pretty quickly as it was getting about...

    Can you top balance an 8s connection with an active balancer and inverter charger?

    I really wish I had an experienced LiFePO4 battery builder able to help me out with this, I'm very confused. What I have: 8 304 AH EVE cells from Docanpower JK 8s BMS LV2424 Hybrid inverter charger Multimeter What I noticed when I received the cells: They looked great, no bloating or...

    Voltage drop between battery and inverter

    Hey, so I have a newly set up group of 8 304 AH EVE cells that I bought from Docanpower awhile ago. I hooked them up in series and connected them to an 8s JK BMS to monitor individual cell voltage and everything as I charge the batteries and discharge them. I also have them hooked up to an...

    Jump starting my 8s JK BMS

    Hi, I have an 8s 304 AH battery pack hooked up to my JK BMS. It didn't turn on, and after doing some research I found that this BMS needs an external power source to jump start it. Only problem is, I was really hoping to avoid needing to buy a power supply. Are there any other good options for...

    Too many balance leads on my 8s JK BMS

    Hey, I bought an 8s JK BMS that has 10 total balance leads instead of the expected 9. I have 1 black lead that is to the main negative terminal of the 8s battery. Then I have 9 red leads. I wired the first 8 up to the corresponding positives on the cells and did the standard check that each lead...

    different size bus bars

    Hey everyone, I got a pack of 8 304 AH EVE cells from Docanpower a few weeks ago. They came with 8 bus bars but that isn't enough for me to hook them up in parallel for top balancing. I ordered a 36" copper bar off of amazon that I thought was going to be the same size as the bus bars that came...

    Prismatic cells on the way, what do I need?

    Hey everyone, I have 8 304 AH EVE cells on the way and they should be here within the next few days. (Ordered through Alibaba the end of November). I have a LV2424 Hybrid Inverter Charger and an 8s JK BMS which I believe has active balancing capabilities of somewhere around 5 amps. Can you kind...

    What BMS should I get?

    I ordered 8 304 AH LiFePO4 cells from Docan Technology (Shenzhen) a few days ago. They told me that they will be arriving in their texas warehouse within a few weeks and then off to my house. I want a 24v system and so I was originally planning on an 8s system. I keep seeing issues with the Daly...
