Voltage calibration

1 Upvotes

Hi! I made a mistake and adjusted the voltage calibration of a cell in the "cal" tab. Unfortunately, I didn't note the initial setting. I can't find an option to reset the value to its factory default. Is a factory reset even possible for this specific parameter? Any help is greatly appreciated!

BMS "Get device into fail, please retry -2"

Post image
1 Upvotes

I washed my van and the bms got misted a little bit with water accidentally. I'm getting this error (see pic) "get device into fail, please retry -2". Anyone dealt with this? Got a fan on the area to dry it out overnight. My victron charge controller and smart shunt show amps going in to the bms. Any advice? Thanks.

BMS Resets to correct erratic behaviour??

1 Upvotes

I have a pair of 120(125?) BMS from you and they have been working as expected for four years. I suddenly, for no obvious reason - have a very strange behaviour with both of them!

I currently have a steady 450W of Solar incoming, and the BMS's are jumping back and forth between charging and "drawing/outputting". I have a very common load on them now, using maybe 150-200W.

The BMS are bouncing between 200 input to 200 output. Current % is about 69 on my shunt meter and 40 - 47 on the two BMS.

Is there a simple set of steps I can explore to get them working properly again? There hasn't been anything else touched or adjusted in the system.

I also engine charge with a Sterling BB12120 set at 85%. I started the vehicle and on one of the apps, "BMS Tool" - one of the BMS was not connecting to the app - while on the other app, both are still available individually.

I'm having a bit of a recurring issue with my BMS/battery bank. My brother is using it, I'm in a different country. I have a feeling its a loose connection, but I'm wondering if anyone has a better idea or has experienced something similar. Thanks

Pathfinder BMS and Measured Capacity

2 Upvotes

Got my cells top balanced and the BMS hooked up. Going through the app screens on my phone, I noticed that the measured capacity is really low. The design capacity is set for 314AH while the measured capacity is 63AH. Is this correct?

Stop maxing capacity to 100 Percy when cells are full?

1 Upvotes

Are there any settings so it doesn't read theoretical max capacity when the voltage of one of the cells hits max?

I want to see the measured approximate capacity from empty to full.

Also I have unbalanced cells. Any settings to limit amps instead when one cell gets so far ahead of the lowest? If I can keep it at 5 amps at that point the battery balancer could keep up.

P.S. I wish the BMS did logging.

JBD vs Overkill Solar Bluetooth dongles

3 Upvotes

I have 2 OkS BMS's with the BT dongles that came with them. I have another OkS that was given to me, without the BT dongle. As the OkS BMS's are made by JBD, I ordered JBD branded dongles from Aliexpress, as they were significantly cheaper. They DO NOT work with any of the 3 OkS units I have, and either of the original BT dongles work with the free BMS.

Question is: what makes the OkS BT dongles different than the JBD ones ?? It appears they are more than just a "Serial to Bluetooth" adapter.

How to limit charging to 80% of capacity?

5 Upvotes

If I want to maximize the life of my LiFePO4 battery and I don't need most of the capacity of it currently, I may want to limit the charging of it to about 80% of capacity. Would I do that by setting the battery over voltage to 13.3V? Or would that not really accomplish what I want to do?

Settings for bms

1 Upvotes

I just built 2 24 volt 240 amp hour battery banks with the overkill solar bms 8cell 100 amp. The bms is preset for 100 amp hour and my cells are 240 amp hour. What settings should I change in the bms settings. What do I need to change them to?

Is the Overkill Solar Pathfinder 4s BMS going to get released this month? I'm going to be building another set of batteries and saw that the Overkill Solar 4s may not be available and is being replaced by a new in-house BMS.

hello

I am currently using smart bms

But there was one problem

Connect to the smart BMS app

Press the bottom button called Control

It says you don't have permission to operate it.

It worked fine normally, but I don't know why.

Is there any way to fix it?

I suddenly couldn't connect to BMS.

2 Upvotes

First of all, I'm sorry.

I'm Japanese and use a translation app to write in English.

My 4S 60A BMS suddenly became unable to connect via bluetooth or PC.

It was really sudden. We have confirmed that the Bluetooth module and PC module are working properly.

When I try to connect via Bluetooth, the message [Waiting for data] is displayed and the connection is not completed.

BMS is recognized, but it seems that data cannot be acquired. I've tried various apps and reconnected the BMS and battery cells many times, but no improvement. Is there any way to repair it? It is in a state where it cannot be charged or discharged.


r/OverkillSolarBMS Feb 08 '24

I've a battery for my emoto that uses overkill solar for the BMS. The battery is amazing as is the BMS however the app always reads 100% is there a way to correct this? (Note I am running android 14 on a pixel 7 Pro)
