I just noticed a difference in BMS settings of my 2 boards ;
one has the setting “BMS hardware switch” switched “OFF” (my good 'ol Flux), and the other with my new battery has it switched “ON”…
Should i re-write the settings on my new battery also to “hardware switch” off ?
I’m clueless about these things, that’s why i buy prebuild boards .
The “BoardsofSweden” has just last week had it’s battery totally renewed , same BMS used as this was still ok.
sorry for the German language; so under “Zusätzliche Funktionen” (=optional/extra functions?) , "Schalter - activiere wenn dein BMS hardware schalter " (=Switch - activate when your BMS has a hardware switch)
the reason i ask is because my older Flux board has been functioning flawlessly with it turned off , for years now… And i strongly think there is no difference in my 2 bms situations , except maybe a brand name.
Esk8 bms’s don’t have such a “hardware switch” , or ?
Actually just a P group gone sour. The design and build of this battery was “questionable”. When it started showing the imbalance i grew paranoid of possible house-fires etc so the bad battery had to go asap. Had a new one build, all’s good now. Except i noticed the difference between the Flux and the B.O.S. in the BMS settings…
@xsynatic ; could you plz move this thread to the battery builders club ? I think i placed this in the wrong place (?) thanks dude , dankeschön:call_me_hand:t3:
The hardware switch is just if you have an actual physical switch to turn the bms output on and off. I use it to control my lights because i like buttons. If you have nothing on the output of the bms then that setting doesn’t do anything for or against you.
I would turn it off just to not see the “fet locked” notification but it’s not going to effect anything
.
