    Hey Jehu, I'm confused. the connectors that you linked to on Amazon appear to not come in the 4pin and 5pin that we need to use the Battgo cell balancers. Are we supposed to cut them down to the correct pin count? Seems like I'm missing something. Thanks

  • @MaxGoddur

    I Need to pick a couple of those devices showing the voltage. BTW same guy that lives in Ca (south bay). I am building or should say repairing my e-bike(2) battery packs they both stopped working just under 3 years. Just getting into this area as a hobby/family fixer. The biggest slow down of this repair process is charging then discharging and finally charging each cell to get its capacity and voltage. How do you cut down on time when it comes to this step?

  • @leslarson2642
    @leslarson2642 Před 2 lety

    While this is interesting, the power wall was basically pre-wired for the 8s battery balancer. What about balancing a 48v battery pack with an 8s balancer? Balance by cell groups? Balance part of the pack at a time? Is this possible?

  • @pherez5193

  • @toddmarshall7573
    @toddmarshall7573 Před 4 lety +1

    You don't need a $30 balancer to balance your cells. I balance mine by just hooking them in parallel. I have two connectors. One hooks them in series for source. One hooks them in parallel for charging. You can make up the connectors with Anderson power pole.

  • @jkenny1

    The stock BMS doesn't do balancing? Pretty surprising for such a large expensive battery... What do normal customers for these packs do?

    • @franklopez6349
      @franklopez6349 Před 3 lety

      Saw a reply on another video about modifying these from 16S to 14S to lower the voltage to their inverters.
      The built-in BMS kick in when the individual cells reach 4.05V. But they do not have a way to monitor externaly, other than checking each cell.

  • @martincotterell2349
    @martincotterell2349 Před 4 lety +1

    Hey Jehu, can those balancers be used in series to display cell voltage (and slowly balance) a higher voltage single pack in an EV ... perhaps by overlapping connections, so every 8th cell is connected to the neighbouring balancer??

    I have the basic design of these, and how to interconnect them. I am working on the management interface which can support up to 32 units. Once I get this last piece, up to 32 units can balance with each other across the packs.
