Thank you everyone!!! Made the wiring corrections and the BMS app now shows the charging activity. Next are the fuses.

Yes. Thank you all for your patience and help. My system is now running correctly.

Thank you!!!

Ok, thank you very much!!! And thank you for this forum!!!

I had no idea where to place the solar charge controller wires. I thought they went directly to the battery. 😁 ⚡

Move the solar charge controller to the bus bar as well? I will add a fuse, battery to inverter, correct?

Oh boy. Ok, per @mikefitz , "Remove all cable connections to the most negative cell except the BMS connections. Connect the Victron negative to the negative buss bar. thanks!!

Ok, I will do that now!!! thank you!!!

Ok, next on the to do list. I just have the battery cutoff switch. I will add a fuse. thanks!

Not using it now. It's currently, supposed to be 'charging'. :) Here's how I have it wired. Wires from PV out of the solar charge controllers are on the battery posts on top of the battery out cables.

1. Home screen shot shows the discharge earlier today. 3. My system does not have a shunt.

Still does not show the charging activity with the SW switch setting off. When I turned it back on again, the battery capacity jumped up to 67%. It looks like it's charging I just don't see it on the app.

This sounds very similar to what I did. 😁

This one is also on my list.

The display on the meter is still working. Continuity is still functioning. I will wait until I get the fuse before I use it again. Thanks for the meter recommendations.

Do you have the solar charge controller cable lug directly connected to the battery, on top of the positive/negative out line? My overkill BMS is not showing or indicating that it is charging.

I am leaning toward the $100-ish range. It would be easier to get approved. 😁

Ok, I will look for that. Thanks!

Yes, it looks like the glass fuse is blown. The continuity test failed and I am unable to tell if the filament inside is cut near one of the ends. I will have to use my CEN-TECH that I got for free at Harbor Freight. :)

I really have to read the descriptions for the ones online. Most are rated for AC.

Ok, I'm glad that it's not just me. 😁 ⚡

What is SA?

Ok. I will do that. Will test tomorrow when the sun is out. Thank you!!

Hello again, Now that I have my Overkill Solar BMS app working, which setting do I change for the battery to start charging. I was clicking on something on the app and the Charging arrows flickered for about a second. The Discharge indicator was working when I had something plugged in. I...

I will put one on order today. I am looking at this clamp meter. It shows that it can measure 40amps DC up to 400amps. Amazon clamp meter

Ahh, ok. I will not be doing this again! :) Should I replace the circuit breaker? I will open it up and see if the fuse has blown. Next purchase will be a clamp on Meter. I have one on the wish list on amazon. thanks again.

I placed the positive probe of the meter on the positive screw of the circuit breaker, then put the negative probe of the meter to the negative screw of the circuit breaker. I did not put the meter across both screws. Victron app was showing 4.5A so I thought it was safe. Meter seems to...

Where can I safely check the amps coming in from the solar charge controller?

Hello, just got lucky that nothing burned down but I wanted to check the amps on my system because the BMS is not showing the charge amps only discharge. So what I did is put my multi-meter probes in the input side screws and as soon as I touched the meter positive probe to the positive screw...

I re-started my phone and it detected the xiaoxiang bms. It's now working!

UPDATE: Bluetooth now connects. User error. 😁 I re-started my phone and it detected the xiaoxiang bms.

Wire harness checked out ok with the continuity test.

Ok, let me do this. thanks!

Yes, turned on Location on phone. Left the app to search devices but it could not find/detect it. Oh, and I made sure that bluetooth was turned on my phone as well. 😁

Hello, Just finished wiring my 24v 105ah battery. When I connected the bms balance wires, I did not see the light on the bluetooth dongle come on. The phone app also just shows 'searching for devices'. 1. Is there a way to troubleshoot this? 2. How do I know if the BMS is working...
