I recently got net metering installed and frequent power cuts is common here. My equipment: LuxPower SNA 5k paired with a 51.2V 100Ah battery. What I want is a grid dependent battery charging current limit, If the grid is available, I want the battery to charged slowly (or not at all) at the...

I already know that BMS is supposed to be the last line of defence and I'm supposed to control charging via charger itself. I've been toying around with the idea of implementing 'convergent' balancing lately. Which basically means balancing only after charging has ended, with no current going...

The first part of this guide can be read here. 4. Top-balancing and maintaining Balance with help of BMS Suppose you got a battery with N factory-new cells connected in series. What is the most appropriate way to top-balance this battery? The solution is what can be termed as balancing after...

I typed up a long ass post and saved it for later in draft. When I tried looking for it today, it was nowhere to be found. Bummer! Apparently, drafts are saved only until 24 hours. The 'save draft' button should contain a warning like this...

Do you know that LFPs need to be balanced every few months and not at every charge cycle? OR Are you aware that setting float voltage of your LFP battery above 3.37V/Cell is overcharging it and harming its potential lifespan and causing cell imbalance? Chances are extremely high that you don't...

What equipment I have: Luxpower SNA 5k paired with JK-BD6A24S10P BMS monitoring a 16 Cell 100Ah CALB LFP battery BMS comms is not currently possible The issue I'm currently facing: I have to put time and efforts changing charging parameters everyday for correctly charging the battery. Very...

Some background: I built my own LFP battery consisting of 16 CALB L160F100 with the JK-BD6A24S10P paired to a LuxPowerTek SNA 5k unit. It is 50 days old showing 21 cycle counts on the BMS as of 26 Oct 2023. It took the battery (51.2V, 100 Ah, 0.6 A active balance current) a full month to...
