@@WattHour Great and detail video! I currently building a 3s pack with samsung vtc5a ( max discharge 35A ). What wires should I use? 8awg are enough? Does this apply to the connections with the bms? Thank you!

I've seen many sketchy and questionable videos about BMSes and am happily surprised by the quality of your explanation and your review. Many thanks for your work 👍🏼 You deserve much more subscribers.
Very in-depth, probably the most in-depth analysis of this module on the internet. It was valuable to see the actual model number of the original design in this video (hx-3s-fl25a-a), because the module I was using was completely nameless, but identical, so it was hard to find info on it.
I am sorry to say your pronounciation confused me, on occasion but I thoroughly enjoyed your video because of your details and thorough explanations. As someone who is just getting involved in electronics experimenting after many years working in an unrelated field, I appreciate your explanations. Keep producing these videos!
Very nice video , I have used these boards for a few battery packs I build 2 years ago. They haven't failed me yet. I have the version you are holding at 6:35 and the battery terminals have a metal plate on them so you can spot weld nickle strips to them instead of soldering wires. It's set up so the strips line up perfectly to the cells to keep the strips short. I paid about $3 USD for each in a pack of 3. Very cheap.

2.3v is very low for over discharge protection. I've been trying to find a cheap board like this, but with higher discharge protection voltage (like 2.7-3v), but all of them seem to go so low that I'm worried for the lifespan of the battery
@@BAMB00STE Exactly! 2.3 is way too low for most 18650s and all of these cheap boards have the same specs. I connected 3 batteries too a board similar and one cell is dead since it let it go way low. Another thing I did was put 2 low 3.4 (ish) voltage cells with a one that was 4.0v and it overcharged the 4.0v cell rather than stop charging it while the other cells caught up.
I searched eBay for "12V 3S 40A Lithium BMS" (without quotes) and results return "Standard", "Enhanced" and "Balanced", but don't know which I should be using. I'm thinking of putting together a few packs for use with my UPS's using the battery boxes on eBay (searched for 12V 10Ah 3S 7P). Thanks for the very educational video!

I made an ups with 3s 25a BMS and 6cells of 18650. My router supports 12v 1.5amp. Can I use a 12v 5amp adapter to charge the ups alongside to power the router. 5a-1.5a=3.5amp for my 3s battery pack (6*18650 batteries total (🔋🔋+🔋🔋+🔋🔋)) Is it alright to use 12v 5a charger? Is it going to quickly reduce the battery lifespan?
I realize your video is now over 3 years old but I still have questions. You showed three cells charged to the max and then applied 17 volts to show over voltage protection. I'm wondering what would happen if you applied this same voltage to a drained battery pack. Would the individual cells accept a charge at this point? Is there an internal voltage regulator that would drop it from the 17 volts to the appropriate levels for charging and then cutoff at maximum charge? And what happens if one of the cells is internally shorted such as the middle battery in this case? Would the BMS still manage to charge the remaining two batteries? Would it simply cutoff all charging? Your individual battery volt meters, are they going to read correctly if the middle battery was shorted internally?
Thanks for such a clear explanation video; I have a board HX-4S-F30A (4S 30Amps) I am connecting 4S3P 18650 battery pack to it, I can read all the correct values on each B-, B1, B2, B3, B+ ports, it comes with a P- and P+ ports as well which work as Charge and Discharge ports, it has NO additional Charging or C- port. When I connect a car break light bulb (12v , 55 watt max draw) to the P+ and P- port the bulb doesn't light up and the P ports drop the voltage to 0 and then they go back up to 11v but it never goes back up to 15-16v again. I have tried 4 boards of the exact same model and they all act the same way. It seems like the board is protecting itself but I don't understand why, since the bulb is a 12v and the current for it shouldn't be more than 10 amps, this board is supposed to handle 30A x 12v = 360w What am I missing? any help will be greatly appreciated.
@WattHour All batteries are brand new, same lot, charged to 4.20v (Sanyo 2200 mah capacity) I have tested these boards with 3 different sets of 4S3P and the last test was with 4S1P just to eliminate or reduce variables. The behavior is the same.
Thankyou. I haven't been considering the current I supply when charging. I just connect anything that outputs the correct voltage. Car battery was on the list till you helped me see the light. I've got plenty of Buck converters with current adjust just gathering dust & waiting for a purpose like this.

Outstanding video sir! Thank you so very very much for taking the time to make such a very good tutorial for everyone to learn from!!! Thank youuuu!!!!
Hi Really great tutorial, I am building a solar bank for my garden. If I have 4 18650 in parallel as one bank and have 3 of these in serials can I use a s3 BMS to keep each bank balanced. Many thanks Cliff
Can a 2s battery system be connected to a 3s BMS..and input voltage given accordingly, like 8.4 volts? Also, these BMS, do they automatically do trickle charge ( if initial battery voltage less than threshold) And do constant voltage charging when battery reaches upper threshold and automatically cut off when charging finishes? Does the BMS handle all these and just a constant current source with appropriate voltage needs to be attached to the BMS? Also, if constant current is set on the power supply, how does the bms do the trickle charge/ constant voltage charge at low currents?
over voltage protection is when the voltage goes "Over" some value which would be more than 4.2V (I don't remember the value). Then it has release voltage to release the protection when the voltage goes down to that value, it will release the protection.
Fantastic explanation of the BMS and step by step review of the BMS features. Really it has given me the knowledge about the BMS. I wish to change the Ni-cad cells of my cordless drill to Lithium - ion batteries. The voltage of my cordless drill is 12 V. What are the requirements for this conversion and the electronics involved in doing so. Also kindly enlighten me that is it possible to use a BMS for a 3sand4p set-up of lithium ion battery. If so what's the procedure for it and the charging parameters, such as supply volt and current, then the BMS Board to be used. Your reply will help many people who are afraid to convert their drills, and toys having Ni-cad cells to lithium ion batteries. Hope to see your guidance soon.
I am glad you found it useful. converting this module is impossible. as I mentioned each chip is made for specific voltage and you can't change it. may be we can add components to make it work but it won't be fully automatic. as for 3S4P, when you connect 2 or 3 battery in parallel, this module will see them as ONE. except the capacity increases. But series will change the voltage and it won't work. it will kill the module.
@@WattHour Thank you so much for immediate attention and response. Now I am clear that altering the ni-cad cells based drilling machines or for that matter is not possible with lithium ion batteries and BMS. That's why people show only the single cells with BMS.
@@WattHour His drill is 12volts. A 3S pack charged is 12.6volts. The voltages are correct so why won't it work? Do these drills draw more than the 40A rating of these BMS boards? An electric motor usually just runs slower with less voltage so I would think the pack would work until you got down to the low voltage cut off limit for cell protection. I've purchased four empty 12.6volt battery boxes from Ali Express. These come in kits and include 18650 holders, the nickel strips and a BMS rated at 20A or 40A that's exactly like ones in your photos. Some of the kits use a 3S7P configuration while the others use a 3S10P (3 series X 10 parallel) configuration. Your video made it clear that there's no way these BMS boards can balance charge any more than 3 cells! Ali Express has a lot of vendors selling on their site much like Amazon does here in the States so they are not to blame for these questionable 18650 battery box kits. I do now wonder how safe they are without battery balancing.
its actually a normally close temperature switch. it go open circuit when it temp rating is exceed. (usually 40C) this will also cause the main mosfet to turn off. after it cools the switch will again close and circuit will resume normal operation. If board does not come with temp switch one can be added but you need to remove the zero ohm resistor that is used to bypass the missing temp switch. it usually next to where temp switch is soldered.
Great video & detective work! But I think you might be missing something re the 2213 balancing circuits (or maybe it's me). Yes, if somehow a cell were over 4.2 V, the 2213 would drain it till it reached 4.19. But...we're more interested in what happens during charging. Here, if the available charging current is enough, there's nothing to stop a cell from going above 4.2 V. The 2213-controlled FET will be on, diverting ~70 mA away from the cell and reducing its charge rate, but it'll continue to charge until the OV chip disconnects everything. The simpler boards only have a 2213, so that's the bigger problem I'd guess...
This is what I was searching for. I was testing this BMS yesterday, and it didn't seem to have cell-level over voltage protection at all. Essentially makes it useless IMO.
@@vhfgamer 3 batteries in series when fully charged will be 12.6 volts and you need to supply at least 12.6 volts to this board for it to charge the batteries to 12.6 volts... you can actually supply the board with a bit more than 12.6. I have a similar board, it says it will handle up to 13 or 14 volts, I forget which it. This board, in many ways, is for the most part useless.
Very helpful thanks but wanted to know the no. of maximum cells the board can handle as is divided by 3 . 0 v to 4.2 v and 4.2 to 8.4 and 8.4 to 12.6 or is possible to doable the each cell by 2cells in series v will same but capsity will doabled
Good video! thanks for all the detail. Question: Can you use fewer cells than the board is designed for? Can you only install 3cells on a 4 cell board and have it work properly?? Thanks
There is some thing that I didn't understand. Why 510k resistor used between P- and B-. The circuit is on charge or discharge mode because of that 510k resistor...
Im planning to build an uninterrible power supply (UPS), can I use this BMS in that? or in other words, can this bms discharge the energy whenever the power supply is not supplying energy?
Hello, thank you for the video. I am using such 40A bms but with 10mosfets version (REV2.3 was printed on the back side). Suddenly I noticed that battery voltage is 0.4-0.6V higher than output voltage. The voltage difference is noticed between B- and P-. I tried to short B- and P- as some people suggest but no reaction, problem still exist. This was not always like that, at the begging of use it was fine. Have you ever experienced such problem? Any ideas how to solve it?
Great directions you've maid. Would you be kindly tell how about to reduce batteries charge cycles amount? How to unplug the load from batteries while the charger power supply is on and we need to power on the load from the initial power supply? How to commence the charging only if voltage dropped to a precise value? For example I don't want to get my batteries charging everytime, but after a certain discharge (voltage drop)? Thanks
I don't have a module that have constant current adjustment, can i charge through it my battries, and my cells are not all same voltage can i connect those to bms or first i need to full charge it individually.?
Do I need to connect (weld, solder) batteries to the BMS board in sequence (from plus to minus or vice versa) how is it in the laptop battery so that the board does not go into protection?
I made a mistake while connecting this BMS to batteries, I connected them in the wrong order, now it doesn't cut off when the batteries reach to max voltage. But it balance the batteries and still have the short circuit protection.
Hello what about under voltage protection. I meam i asume the bms it self is powered by the batteries it is protecting. What if i put it away for a long time does it keep drawing power from the batteries or can it conpketely shut off? I worry the bms might cause the voltage to go too low over time. I hope i am wrong
I only have a power source of 12v 1A which I suppose would not be enough for charging a battery pack with this BMS connected. So I charge these cells individually by disconnecting them from the BMS using tp 4056. When the cells are charged, I put them back to the BMS, keep it for a few hours yo get properly balanced. Is this way advisable? (I do this Because I don't have a good current capacity 12v supply for charging my battery)
So for some reason on my BMS and I have 3 brand new ones when I hook them up the voltage on the pack reads 12.50volts but on the B- B+ it reads 11.50v everything has been hooked up to balance wires and when I test the balance plug each series of cells reads 4.15v so the only thing that’s not the correct voltage is the bms. Can I move the wire from B- to the 0v side of the board? When I do that it reads the 12.50v but I’m not sure if this is bypassing the bms or not.
Is it possible to connect multiple BMS modules in parallel, similar to what you explained for the TP4056? I want create a 3S-3P battery with 9× INR18650 or INR21700 cells. I'm looking to make an 11.1V - 3S battery with high current capacity of 3× 3S wired to gether in parallel, with only a single pair of + and - output wires. Also, if connecting modules in parallel is possible, what would be the best way to calculate the maximum output current? ie: Is the max useable current determined by the maximum output current of the module, or by the maximum output current capability of the batteries? Thank-you for your assistance.
Thanks for the great explanation we needed. Just a small question, as this has overcurrent protection threshold about 200mV, if they add 0.025 ohm(two 0.05 Ohm resistor in parallel) resistor in series , the threshold overcurrent voltage should reach at 8A, then how does this provide 40A or more?
From what I understood, he mentioned the 40A current limit refers to either, (but I'm not sure which) the max charging input current, or the max charging current the module can deliver to the batteries, not the final module maximum output current, but I may be wrong on that. 8A you mentioned sounds more realistic, however, from memory, he did show the mosfets rated at 63A, so perhaps the max module output of 40A is reasonable.
Hi. I have 4 batteries 12 v 300ah. When they reach a los voltage, the bms shutdown the batteries. How i can turn on them fast, because actually i wait 2 weeks .
Hello, this video clip was very impressive, is it possible to put a similar clip about the work of the BMS cards for charging the batteries of the 20-volt parkside devices, please?
Question: I made a battery pack with the same module (3S25A) for a 12V cordless vacuum. But it only runs half a second then cuts power. Tested it on a 12V cordless drill, works fine. Also tested the drill's battery pack on my 12V vac, again works fine. What could be the problem. Help will be very much appreciated.🙏
I came accross a weird stiuation. My 2S3A BMS has no voltage reading on the output, so I assume it's faulty. But when I reverse the input polarity I get a reading (slightly less than actual V). So, would it still provide some protection?
Question please 🙏 I have network video recorder(NVR) ,can I use bms 3s as a UPS , by puting the output and input in the place of dc12.6v in NVR (to charge when electricity is on ,and produce when electricity is off) *NVR works with 12.6v 2A. Please answer 🙏😘
well detailed information. if i use this then i wont need dc to dc lm2596 step down buck converter right?? cause m using it to charge me 12v 9a lead acid battery using 20w solar panel and with full sun light it gives 19v dc. so if i directly connect the solar panel in this 3s 40amp bmc will it auto step down and charge and auto cut after battery fully charge?? plz plz reply
so my drill use 20v battery so how it got wet I replace my batteries 5 battey 3.7v am getting 19.5 volt when i test the batteries even the battery indicator show that they fully charged but on bms output connector to the drill am only getting 4.add voltage any advice ?

Can a 2s battery system be connected to a 3s BMS..and input voltage given accordingly, like 8.4 volts?
Also, these BMS, do they automatically do trickle charge ( if initial battery voltage less than threshold)
And do constant voltage charging when battery reaches upper threshold and automatically cut off when charging finishes?
Does the BMS handle all these and just a constant current source with appropriate voltage needs to be attached to the BMS?
Also, if constant current is set on the power supply, how does the bms do the trickle charge/ constant voltage charge at low currents?
31:30 min why the battery doesn't charge ? I thought the over voltage protection only cuts off the connection if the cell voltage drops ~4.25V.
over voltage protection is when the voltage goes "Over" some value which would be more than 4.2V (I don't remember the value). Then it has release voltage to release the protection when the voltage goes down to that value, it will release the protection.
Charger Gating Reverse voltage
Can it damage the battery?
Hey, amazing explanation, thank you! Do you think its possible to charge and discharge at the same time?
Excellent presentation, Thanks
Complete video on EVERYTHING ABOUT BMS.
if you still have doubt ,
"watch the video again"
Thanks.
Fantastic explanation of the BMS and step by step review of the BMS features. Really it has given me the knowledge about the BMS.
I wish to change the Ni-cad cells of my cordless drill to Lithium - ion batteries. The voltage of my cordless drill is 12 V. What are the requirements for this conversion and the electronics involved in doing so. Also kindly enlighten me that is it possible to use a BMS for a 3sand4p set-up of lithium ion battery. If so what's the procedure for it and the charging parameters, such as supply volt and current, then the BMS Board to be used. Your reply will help many people who are afraid to convert their drills, and toys having Ni-cad cells to lithium ion batteries. Hope to see your guidance soon.
I am glad you found it useful. converting this module is impossible. as I mentioned each chip is made for specific voltage and you can't change it. may be we can add components to make it work but it won't be fully automatic. as for 3S4P, when you connect 2 or 3 battery in parallel, this module will see them as ONE. except the capacity increases. But series will change the voltage and it won't work. it will kill the module.
@@WattHour Thank you so much for immediate attention and response. Now I am clear that altering the ni-cad cells based drilling machines or for that matter is not possible with lithium ion batteries and BMS. That's why people show only the single cells with BMS.
@@WattHour His drill is 12volts. A 3S pack charged is 12.6volts. The voltages are correct so why won't it work? Do these drills draw more than the 40A rating of these BMS boards? An electric motor usually just runs slower with less voltage so I would think the pack would work until you got down to the low voltage cut off limit for cell protection.
I've purchased four empty 12.6volt battery boxes from Ali Express. These come in kits and include 18650 holders, the nickel strips and a BMS rated at 20A or 40A that's exactly like ones in your photos. Some of the kits use a 3S7P configuration while the others use a 3S10P (3 series X 10 parallel) configuration.
Your video made it clear that there's no way these BMS boards can balance charge any more than 3 cells! Ali Express has a lot of vendors selling on their site much like Amazon does here in the States so they are not to blame for these questionable 18650 battery box kits. I do now wonder how safe they are without battery balancing.
Excellent video. I have noticed that some BMS boards have a temp sensor input.Can you elaborate on it’s application?
its actually a normally close temperature switch. it go open circuit when it temp rating is exceed. (usually 40C) this will also cause the main mosfet to turn off. after it cools the switch will again close and circuit will resume normal operation. If board does not come with temp switch one can be added but you need to remove the zero ohm resistor that is used to bypass the missing temp switch. it usually next to where temp switch is soldered.
Can I add two cells in parallel in this bms to make a 3s2p pack, to increase capacity?
Great video & detective work! But I think you might be missing something re the 2213 balancing circuits (or maybe it's me). Yes, if somehow a cell were over 4.2 V, the 2213 would drain it till it reached 4.19. But...we're more interested in what happens during charging. Here, if the available charging current is enough, there's nothing to stop a cell from going above 4.2 V. The 2213-controlled FET will be on, diverting ~70 mA away from the cell and reducing its charge rate, but it'll continue to charge until the OV chip disconnects everything. The simpler boards only have a 2213, so that's the bigger problem I'd guess...
This is what I was searching for. I was testing this BMS yesterday, and it didn't seem to have cell-level over voltage protection at all. Essentially makes it useless IMO.
@@anelinnonmaa How would it go over 4.2 volts per cell if there is only ever 4.2 volts provided to it?
@@anelinnonmaa Yes, very useless.
@@vhfgamer 3 batteries in series when fully charged will be 12.6 volts and you need to supply at least 12.6 volts to this board for it to charge the batteries to 12.6 volts... you can actually supply the board with a bit more than 12.6. I have a similar board, it says it will handle up to 13 or 14 volts, I forget which it. This board, in many ways, is for the most part useless.
@@ForwardGuidance Well when I provide 12.6 volts to the board, what comes out is 4.2 volts per "cell".
Very helpful thanks
but wanted to know the no. of maximum cells the board can handle as is divided by 3 . 0 v to 4.2 v and 4.2 to 8.4 and 8.4 to 12.6
or is possible to doable the each cell by 2cells in series v will same but capsity will doabled
Love you from Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Appreciated it in making , but my friend would like to ask you if we want to make a 6v 3W 3A and connect it with 3W 8.97v 3A solar panel
Thanks from Bangladesh
Is there any BMS with over temperature sensor and cell balancing added along with other features?
Well explained. Thanks a lot Sir!
Good video! thanks for all the detail. Question: Can you use fewer cells than the board is designed for? Can you only install 3cells on a 4 cell board and have it work properly?? Thanks
There is some thing that I didn't understand. Why 510k resistor used between P- and B-. The circuit is on charge or discharge mode because of that 510k resistor...
when the overcharge was tested, how do we know if the controlled voltage was not a result of internal circuit in the batteries are functioning?
Great vídeo. Greetings from Mexico.
In 3S 40 ampere BMS, voltage across battery is different and output voltage P1 + P1 - is different, then how to solve the problem
Where do you get the documentation for the device marking codes? That is also a hard task to achieve.
Does it balance the cells? Did I miss that in the video?
Im planning to build an uninterrible power supply (UPS), can I use this BMS in that? or in other words, can this bms discharge the energy whenever the power supply is not supplying energy?
Any reason not to parallel cells with these BMS's?
Hello, thank you for the video. I am using such 40A bms but with 10mosfets version (REV2.3 was printed on the back side). Suddenly I noticed that battery voltage is 0.4-0.6V higher than output voltage. The voltage difference is noticed between B- and P-. I tried to short B- and P- as some people suggest but no reaction, problem still exist. This was not always like that, at the begging of use it was fine. Have you ever experienced such problem? Any ideas how to solve it?
Great directions you've maid.
Would you be kindly tell how about to reduce batteries charge cycles amount?
How to unplug the load from batteries while the charger power supply is on and we need to power on the load from the initial power supply?
How to commence the charging only if voltage dropped to a precise value? For example I don't want to get my batteries charging everytime, but after a certain discharge (voltage drop)?
Thanks
I don't have a module that have constant current adjustment, can i charge through it my battries, and my cells are not all same voltage can i connect those to bms or first i need to full charge it individually.?
Do I need to connect (weld, solder) batteries to the BMS board in sequence (from plus to minus or vice versa) how is it in the laptop battery so that the board does not go into protection?
I made a mistake while connecting this BMS to batteries, I connected them in the wrong order, now it doesn't cut off when the batteries reach to max voltage. But it balance the batteries and still have the short circuit protection.
Hello what about under voltage protection. I meam i asume the bms it self is powered by the batteries it is protecting. What if i put it away for a long time does it keep drawing power from the batteries or can it conpketely shut off? I worry the bms might cause the voltage to go too low over time. I hope i am wrong
I only have a power source of 12v 1A which I suppose would not be enough for charging a battery pack with this BMS connected. So I charge these cells individually by disconnecting them from the BMS using tp 4056. When the cells are charged, I put them back to the BMS, keep it for a few hours yo get properly balanced. Is this way advisable? (I do this Because I don't have a good current capacity 12v supply for charging my battery)
beautifully explained
Thanks for liking
thanks for detailed video
You are welcome
So for some reason on my BMS and I have 3 brand new ones when I hook them up the voltage on the pack reads 12.50volts but on the B- B+ it reads 11.50v everything has been hooked up to balance wires and when I test the balance plug each series of cells reads 4.15v so the only thing that’s not the correct voltage is the bms. Can I move the wire from B- to the 0v side of the board? When I do that it reads the 12.50v but I’m not sure if this is bypassing the bms or not.
Is it possible to connect multiple BMS modules in parallel, similar to what you explained for the TP4056?
I want create a 3S-3P battery with 9× INR18650 or INR21700 cells.
I'm looking to make an 11.1V - 3S battery with high current capacity of 3× 3S wired to gether in parallel, with only a single pair of + and - output wires.
Also, if connecting modules in parallel is possible, what would be the best way to calculate the maximum output current?
ie: Is the max useable current determined by the maximum output current of the module, or by the maximum output current capability of the batteries?
Thank-you for your assistance.
Great explenation! Thanks for the nice job!
you are welcome. Don't forget to subscribe. I really appreciate it.
Is there a way to manipulate the overdischare voltage protection? I want to use it with lipo batteries. Thank you
No. It is set in chip which have shown.
Thanks for the great explanation we needed. Just a small question, as this has overcurrent protection threshold about 200mV, if they add 0.025 ohm(two 0.05 Ohm resistor in parallel) resistor in series , the threshold overcurrent voltage should reach at 8A, then how does this provide 40A or more?
From what I understood, he mentioned the 40A current limit refers to either, (but I'm not sure which) the max charging input current, or the max charging current the module can deliver to the batteries, not the final module maximum output current, but I may be wrong on that.
8A you mentioned sounds more realistic, however, from memory, he did show the mosfets rated at 63A, so perhaps the max module output of 40A is reasonable.
Hi. I have 4 batteries 12 v 300ah. When they reach a los voltage, the bms shutdown the batteries. How i can turn on them fast, because actually i wait 2 weeks .
Does that BMS still dissipate the excess voltage if the charger is disconnected?
Hello, this video clip was very impressive, is it possible to put a similar clip about the work of the BMS cards for charging the batteries of the 20-volt parkside devices, please?
Exactly the video I was looking for for a while now. Can you fix the link to the resources you used here, link is broken. Thank You..
Thank you Mr. Mohamed for your helpful videos, can we connect these bmss in series
Question: I made a battery pack with the same module (3S25A) for a 12V cordless vacuum. But it only runs half a second then cuts power. Tested it on a 12V cordless drill, works fine. Also tested the drill's battery pack on my 12V vac, again works fine. What could be the problem. Help will be very much appreciated.🙏
You are great at this. But i want to ask a dump question. Do we connect the charge discharge on the same p-/+ ?
I came accross a weird stiuation. My 2S3A BMS has no voltage reading on the output, so I assume it's faulty. But when I reverse the input polarity I get a reading (slightly less than actual V). So, would it still provide some protection?
Question please 🙏
I have network video recorder(NVR) ,can I use bms 3s as a UPS , by puting the output and input in the place of dc12.6v in NVR (to charge when electricity is on ,and produce when electricity is off)
*NVR works with 12.6v 2A.
Please answer 🙏😘
well detailed information. if i use this then i wont need dc to dc lm2596 step down buck converter right?? cause m using it to charge me 12v 9a lead acid battery using 20w solar panel and with full sun light it gives 19v dc. so if i directly connect the solar panel in this 3s 40amp bmc will it auto step down and charge and auto cut after battery fully charge?? plz plz reply
Appreciate the tests! What's a good discharge rate for the thermals for this board? I'm hesitant to buy this and find out I can't do 30A
so my drill use 20v battery so how it got wet I replace my batteries 5 battey 3.7v am getting 19.5 volt when i test the batteries even the battery indicator show that they fully charged but on bms output connector to the drill am only getting 4.add voltage any advice ?
i have found a 60 amp version online id like to know if it will work as a BMS for motorcycle battery using 4p 3s
