Hi everyone!
Im installing my first bluetooth bms unit to my 18s lipo pack. The bms can be used up to 24s.
At the moment I just finished the main leads and connectors for the unit itself. I will wire up and connect the individual cells/turn on wires etc. to it soon. At the moment the bms is practically bare except for main wires.
I had a question about something that seemed odd.
The 18s pack was sitting at 73V or so before I added the bms. After adding the bms to the battery side, the voltage says around 23V when I tested the C- end which goes to the controller/charger.
All wires/bms connectors are removed from the bms except the large thick B- to battery negative and C- to controller/charger negative.
Does the bms need to be turned on in order for full voltage to pass through it? I assumed the full voltage would flow through it whether its on or off but maybe i misunderstand how it works.
Thanks!
