    JK Bms - lock out

    So JK is difficult to get a hold of... my seller contacted them a number of times when a software update locked me out of my JKs, and we were on the road. He'd contact them about 8:00 pm CST, and they'd provide the BT temp password to log in. After that I could get into my settings password...

    JK 4s BMS - Issues Resolved Yet?

    Shaun, I got the info on the BT password solution here at the forum from Ep1phany, great what to do, solved that issue I had of several months. So far the BMS have been working well, and fortunately they were setup correctly before the BT password thing hit while on a two month road trip.

    Anybody tried new JK BMS with inverter communication support?

    Still wanting to find out from a wisened user if I can use one of these new JK BMSs for a 4S setup? Those only show 8S and higher. I'd think it's be possible by telling the BNS I've only got 4S https://srikobatteries.com/?s=jk+inverter+bms&post_type=product Thank you.

    Simple Question About Bluetooth password.

    Does the JK BMS software have a place to change the BT password, by itself, which is different than the overall, once you have bluetoothed into the bms, 'Settings' password, and if so, where is that BT password change option? This is for a B2A4-8S20P If it exists, it is not on V 4.17, nor on...

    I've not been able to find that BT password change area, Would you please put up a photo of that menu and location? Device list, meaning from the app page which scans/shows the several bms devices? On that initial screen, after bt scans it lists the two bms I have. The top far right initial...

    JKBMS Pairing Failure WTH ?

    Now, a few folks have talked about once they get into their BMS, they 'change' the password. I suspect they change their "settings" password. I have not found anywhere to change the BT password. Where would that be?

    JKBMS Pairing Failure WTH ?

    JK has a HQ in the US. Since they sell worldwide, you can file almost virtually where you live. No need to swim. You'd pull them right into your local town. They'd have to swim.

    I have two B2A8S20P, which worked great from Sept 23 to Jan, this year. Updated the Android app from Play Store in Jan, and Bluetooth pairing login failed. JK has now given 3 or 4 temp/15 minute Bluetooth passwords, which have worked to get into the BMSs, but only lasts those 15 minutes. The...

    Small bus bar for jk bms, on p- and b- to avoid twin cable arrangement, thoughts

    I've a JK B2A8S20P, and I'm unsure if I need to connect other negatifves to the -P post, other than the DC-DC MMPT solar charger. I have a 3K inverter charger that will go into the system, and will the BMS work correcrtly with just the MMPT connected to it, or must I also connect the neg from...

    I don't get it. JK BMS with EVE 304AH, 12v setup

    I've been testing out the battterys, BMSs, DC-DC/MMPT charger, and shunt in the kitchen, panels on the back deck, for the last few weeks. All seems good. These batteries came mated. The 3K inverter is rough installed and it's working as designed, currently for the lead acid batterys in the 02...

    I don't get it. JK BMS with EVE 304AH, 12v setup

    TacomaJoe, Good info, thank you. Then that setting is not the ceiling charge level max, which would turn off charging? I do have permission to change the setting, but as the battery is being charged, that setting changes by its self to about whatever the charge level the battery seems to be...

    I don't get it. JK BMS with EVE 304AH, 12v setup

    Not sure I grasp this: .if you want jk to say 100 percent just change the voltage so that bms trip and cutoff charging. Where would I make that/those changes. Seems to me the "calibrating volt" is not the right [place, as that changes dynamically by its self when the batt is being charged, no...

    I don't get it. JK BMS with EVE 304AH, 12v setup

    Yes, when I set the "Calibrating volt", say to 13.** whatever, and go back to the first page which shows the main stats (second photo), when charging via power supply or solar charging (maybe not charging too - I'll have to check that), in the upper left corner is a large volt number, say 13...

    I don't get it. JK BMS with EVE 304AH, 12v setup

    Just like the title says, I don't get what I am doing wrong with my settings for the JK BMS 4-8S, 200A BMS with EVE 304AH, 12v batteries setup. I have followed general settings for the JK Lipo setup, and have tried max charge to 3.65, 3.60, in-between, loweer, and what I seem to get is that @...
