Guys, is it possible to cut off temp probe and fit a switch to short the wires and use it to switch load off that way?
Most of the boards have an unpopulated K1 plug that does exactly what you want.
Thanks a lot mate.
You're welcome. See this pic as well:

OK, I see now LLT claims to be a subsidiary of JBD.

My question is, as @eee291 states, are LLT really just a seller of the exact same BMS (JBD makes) or do they design and build their own products?

If the latter, does anyone know both well enough to comment on differences?

When you buy a BMS from LTT its still labeled as a JBD BMS so I'm pretty sure. I used to buy them from there because you'd always get the newer versions, on Aliexpress it's pretty random.
 
Just got the 20s JBD BMS Up and running. Why is resistance uniformity not showing anything ? And where can I check IR of the cells ?

And what does this lock , unlock thing om the Main screen ?

Thanks
 
I'm pretty sure it can't check IR of the pack or individual cells.
The battery score improves or worsens based on the condition of the battery, try cycling it a few times.

Thanks....
What about that lock /unlock thing on the dashboard ?

Hi,
I am working on my little software project for reading this BMS wirelessly over BLE from ESP32.
ESP32 connects to BLE module, sends request for data and parses incoming data. Parsed data can be shown or LCD.

Not everything is implemented, code is a mess and there are bugs. But basics works.

https://github.com/kolins-cz/Smart-BMS-Bluetooth-ESP32

I hope it will be useful to someone else.

That is a very cool project. I dont understand why nobody responded to your reply. Did you ever get this project up and running ??
 
A little question for those using recent v.3.1.1013 of the xiaoxiang app.

I find this new version very important, as it provides access to all the functions, including those which required the UART box (kinda impractical once the BMS is stashed away).

But... I do not find anymore choice between "charge balance" and "static balance". More importantly, when looking at the screen with single cell voltages during charge, I cannot see the flashing "B" attesting that a specific cell is being balanced. (To be precise, only cell 1 sometimes shows "B" for a brief moment but only when changing into the cell screen.)

It seems that everything is working correctly, cells remain balanced, and the pre-charge unbalalanceis smaller than post-charge. Still, I'd like to be sure that everything is ok. Am I missing something?
 
Hi, i just recieved my bms . Does anyone have a link where i can download vbms2?

Newsky256: yes, it's android app, link provided by eee perhaps one page back, it was a post on Dec 10

There is a product simmilar to that, check out DaveGa, you can make one your self for 20$ or get the new model thats far more advanced

OK thanks

So the data comm protocols for these BMS are the same as that used for DaveGA?

Or just talking about using it as a jumpoff point for a BMS-specific display project?
 
Marking this thread to read - thanks for putting it together, all who were involved.

Agreed that a BLE based BMS is FTW bigtime.

This opens the door to low cost, BLE enabled, modules which can be networked. All that must be agreed upon is the interface.... and that can come long after hardware is in the wild.

With a networked system of independent modules (that play nice together, and do not try to lock each-other out of the market) you can have a battery that requests a current reduction to a controller and then a primary contactor that waits to open until loads are low. . . all of these things working together let you use smaller, lighter, lower cost parts which do not have to survive "worst case" where 60V is blowing open at 50A.

JSON RESTful-type API on BLE in UART mode :mrgreen:
Phone app to link all the different parts together with tokens

-methods
 
Besides BLE, lorawan gives more range, important when the pieces are more spread out like homes, and bigger RVs and boats

other protocols I've seen for BMS, chargers etc

SMBUS, I2C/HDQ
MQTT
IOT-bus
CAN-BUS
isolated SPI, isoSPI
M-BUS
 
Hello.
I wanted to calibrate my smartbms (antbms), it shows me 57.7v while in reality I have 57.9v.
I cannot change "Total Voltage Reference Value" which is set to 3000N
is there a tip?

similarly I don't understand too much to limit the charge to 4.1V, I can't lower the voltage of my charger.
I tried to set totalvoltage Highprotect to 65.6v, once this voltage reaches, the charger turns off and on all the time.

my pack is a 6P16S 15Ah (67.2V at 4.2V).

Thanks for your help
 
Do any of these allow for calibration?

The charger of course is a separate issue, which do you have, link?
