No, not at all. The software lacks a lot, the balancing is not really working.

Same issues and struggles.
I have seen many unnecessary disrespectful messages on this post in fact I think that your observations are very professional and I would strongly agree on the subject of the bus bars, being a mechanical engineer, I did cringe watching Ray using the toque wrench on those, in my opinion, inadequate fastening screws. I'll be looking forward to your developments on the usage of this BMS as I am now constructing my PV system with a temporary 5.1kWh "microwave ready" battery for testing purposes to then progress to building my own 300ah one having just spoken to Jenny wo about the cells thanks to the generous input of our friend Ray. Thanks again for sharing 🙏
I think the Seplos BMS, with intergrated shunt and pre-charge resistor, is an excellent BMS, especially with the intelligence to communicate with other BMS's in a string. I currently use HELTEC/JK 200/2amp active BMS's, which will be replaced with the Seplos if they test well. I look forward to your testing and integration.
Thanks for posting this, I agree it looks great but I wish the connection points were stronger. Can I ask how you are finding this bms in production? Does it have a Bluetooth or WiFi connection and app etc? J
The current shunt would be much better as a separate shunt with just two small gauge sense wires brought into BMS board. You could unsolder it and provide your own separate shunt.
I think you will be fine with the screw connections. When you run the wire, Dont let it be stressin on the board itself. Also I think you can run 3 wires from each side of the connections. You should be fine for carrying current. Most of the ones I see are doing 100 amps or 200 at max. You should be fine without any modifications. Might want to consider that because of warranty purposes. Just in case. Because they may not honor warranty if you make modifications to the product.
Hi, I have this BMS to control 16x 280ah lipofe2 battery pack. So do you know what is the ampere of a circuit breaker to protect my battery? 200ah dc circuit breakers doesn't exist and I don't think that's the ampere to consider (200)
2:01 I believe this was designed for use by commercial battery packs manufacturers. And those post you see are for copper bars inside the battery pack.
Very nice video. What did you do concerning the length of the balance leads? I'm looking into my own DIY project and how my batteries will be situated, I need some longer leads. Thanks.
@@administratorshan So far absolutely no issues. Difference in length is negligible to make difference. This is in regards to other BMS that I have. All measurements are taken with Fluke meter that has 4 decimal points.
Better check the seplos website and be aware that support of canbus is not enough, cause each inverter manufacturer has different can bus dialects. Growatt has even 2, one for their offgrid series (1.05) and 1.01 for their grid tied series SPH. Canbus is not enough.
Unfortunately unplugging and plugging back in the COM cable whilst the BMS and inverter are both turned on kills the BMS. Has happened to me twice. Not sure why.
After installing mine that I bought from minerals on AliExpress, it goes through the light flashing sequence than nothing they LCD screen goes black the lights go out. Any ideas. I guess I need to install the battery monitor software, purchase a USB to RS-485 adapter and cat 6 cable.

Thank you. You do know your stuff... Imagine heavy gauge wire or two hanging on those connections. It can easily rip connectors apart from PCB.

You can solder threaded terminals to the other BMS with the unknown wires. Just like the 6 silver ones in the Seplos BMS.
True. I can do it , you can too but majority will not be able to.
The current shunt would be much better as a separate shunt with just two small gauge sense wires brought into BMS board. You could unsolder it and provide your own separate shunt.
It has two ON/OFF switches. The white port is for connecting a switch button ( peripheral)

What cable to use to communicate Bms Seplos with Cerbo Gx Victron
What Pin Out designations
Did you ever get the comms working with thr LV6548's?
Who is this ray and did he replace this d4 diode I think mine is dead but noone can tell me how to find it so I can check it
As you say, you are not a specialist so let this manufacturer do the job for you. These are a very good BMS used in many battery packs and they work.

Looks like a Dally and so many other knock-off's. The bit that is different is that it is on the positive side rather than B- / P-

Correct. And many others,
They work well, I had to replace the temp probe few times already.
