Winter is finally over, and it is time to fully charge the battery shelf for the very first time after 161days! Yes, 5 months after the last 100% SOC reset, it is that day of the year, and of course, as every year, I'll make a video and show how the battery shelf is performing. Are there any issues after such a long time, do all BMS work as they should be, are the cells still safe to charge to a 'higher' voltage, how much drift do we have in each battery and the most important question: how far is the smart shunt and the BMS off from the true 100% SOC?
I also explain how my system works and what features it has especially when been fully charged. There is so much to learn by just observing and watching a battery system fully charge. I show you as much as I can in this video about the secrets of a happy battery life!

Another great video about the JKs 👍😅 I recently uploaded a video about the first 3 months of our 48V Victron Solar island system with the JK inverter BMS. Unfortunately, there was also 1 complete system failure😏 My conclusion about the JKs so far: Good BMS with a lot of potential, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of functionality. And the very poor support from JK for the normal end customer is more than disappointing🙄 Because let's be honest: Not every end user has almost 100.000 subscribers on RU-vid and therefore gets halfway decent support when something doesn't work perfect, right? 😏😂 Finaly I prefer to leave the SOC calculation to the Victron SmartShunt, because the JK's simply cannot do it reliably🤷🏼‍♂️ Greetings, Ronny

Hi, I agree it's better to use the victron shunt when you have a victron ECO system to measure the SOC. Have 4x 16S and different SOCs reported by the BMS, even the victron has some challenges as seen in the video of Andy. Your failure triggered me, can you share what happend? Franky - EASYPOWERWALL

@@easypowerwall We were unable to fully charge our LiFePo4 blocks for several weeks after we started charging our new plug-in hybrid with the Victron Wallbox😅 As a result, the LiFePo4 cells in both blocks no longer reached 3.40V per cell (the balancer was set to 3.40V to start with). As a result, over several weeks, one cell in each block moved towards 2.60V. And then both JK inverter BMSs switched off. And of course, due to the parallel operation of the 2 JK BMS, we did not receive any alarm messages on the Cerbo GX or in the Victron VRM portal (unfortunately we do not have the latest firmware version yet)🤷🏼‍♂️ We have now set the Balancer to 3.20V so that it starts balancing the cells earlier. Fortunately, another 5 kW of Trina Vertex solar power will be added in a few weeks. Then we should no longer have the problem with fully charging the blocks🤞😂

I've been abusing my battery to the max twice now, I build it along side Andy's 1.0 pack, so to give a timeline.they are in a harsh environment, very cold winters and relatively hot in the summers( harz Germany), I came back to my batteries about a month ago, the solar panels where completely covered with overgrowth, the s16 pack voltage was 4,2 volts, les than 0.27v per cell. I had to bypass bms and charged them to 2,5 volts with a lifepo4 charger, when they hit 2,5, I moved the charger to the correct side of the bms, and upped the amps to 30, than, while being there and checking the cells for abnormalities continuously, I added about 70 ah of solar. They charged all the way up with no significant ballance difference, but I did lose about 10% capacity. I am very positively impressed with these cells, I'm building a new pack witch I intend to not abuse in the same way, but I will leave this pack working and follow its progress.

Hi Andy, I used the "recommended settings" on the smart shunt and wasn't getting good results, so i put the peukert exponent to 1.00 and charge efficiency to 100% and it was much better. After about 3 months since full charge it reset at 99.9% (with 1-2Ah still consumed)

When I started with my DYI battery (all your fault Andi!😅) I also had the peukert and efficiency at something else than 1. That resulted in a 20% SOC jump after 3 months of not charging to 100%. Then I set the parameters to 1 and this February when the battery got full again after 3 months the SOC jumped from 97% to 100%.

If you don't have a DC system, the Multiplus is excellent at estimating the SOC. When properly set up to communicate with charge controllers, it provides highly accurate readings, typically within 1-2% of a JBD BMS without communication. While a shunt can be useful if you're frequently adjusting capacity or want to manually adjust the SOC, it's not strictly necessary in most cases. For controlling AC-coupled microinverters using the TUYA app, a more efficient approach is to integrate Node-RED with MQTT to turn them off as needed. This allows you to avoid relying solely on frequency shifting, which is better kept as a fail-safe. Frequency shifting is not ideal for many appliances and can introduce unnecessary complications. It will be good to see you do more testing and try different things.

On the topic of simplicity, I found an inverter with built in mppt solar charge controller, if I have that and a BMS, why would I need any of that Victron stuff? I like pretty graphs but I think the inverter and JK BMS have apps so I should be able to get all of the relevant data without too much trouble. If my solar array and batteries are sized appropriately for my electric usage and the pack never shuts off, I think I just have to do a bit of scheduled maintenance every 4-6 months to ensure the numbers aren't too far off.

A while ago, before testing the jk inverter bms, you was mentioning that multiple banks without comms are potentially dangerous. I did ask at the time to expand on this, and other members as well, and you said you will re visit this, as it needs a entire video to it. I guess you changed your mind with this one, as long as you got proper SCC short circuit current interruption on each bank for paralleling, there is no issue. Each bank is managed by its own bms, and have a class T fuse or a breaker with 10ka plus. I use outback DC breakers on each bank, rated for 10ka.

Appreciate your opinion 🥰Greetings from 🇬🇧

Oh, yes, the JK inverter BMS is far ahead of any other BMS in this class. The programming, charge cycle features (absorption, float,...) and programmable dry contacts are something no one else does. I am in contact with Seplos and we discussed the possibility of lowering the voltage after the battery is fully charged. The engineer agreed and had other customers requesting that feature. That was in March though and I have not heard back from them. If they don't design their own software, they cannot compete with JK for example which can deliver a new FW within 30min.

@@OffGridGarageAustralia Yep, it is 12 cents plus the transport fee of 6.5 cents in the Summer and 8.5 cents plus the transport fee of 6 cents in the Winter which bring feet of snow and sub zero F temperatures.. We also have an option to have time designated rates in the Summer where it is a few cents more expensive from 5am to 9pm then gets cheaper overnight by a few cents but I have yet to see the advantage in this, so we are not signed up for that.. Our cost for grid electric has doubled in the past 4 years and we also pay a small fee for just having solar even though we are not allowed to backfeed surplus to the grid like a battery here in Northeast Ohio.. The reduced Winter rates were negotiated when the deregulation occurred and they allowed small green producers with a minimum of 100kwh to feed into the system.. Sold a lie and we are paying for it.. I know grid electric is more expensive Down Under but it is catching up fast.. Thanks for the many peeks into your Off Grid Garage from Ray in Ohio..

I run 4 of the JKs with 0.6A for five years already - no issues. By the way, I recently did an experiment to see if I can find bad cell connections in multiple parallel packs. I did that by plotting the cell delta per pack over time. This shows an oscillation on the delta in the pack that has a bad terminal connection - there is a graph in the forum. Maybe something to check with your data on that middle shelf pack - could be interesting. Also, measuring state of charge with a Coulomb counter (shunt) over time when you have a range between 0 and 50A going in the battery and which can fluctuate a lot when using solar is not an easy thing to do...

Andy, I can't remember what you said a long time ago when I first started watching you. You dismissed cutting down trees, and I understand your views on that. But what did you say about using the wind to generate power at night and in the winter when the solar drops off. Also, another site I watch "just have a think" mentioned on one of his blogs (DC to DC charging), that the power from the solar is DC, and you could use that to directly power your cars. Becuase you lose 13% of power converting it to AC, and then your car converts it back to charge the batteries. So, could you charge the cars directly with DC from the solar? Thanks for your Mr blue sky productions.
@OffGridGarageAustralia
@OffGridGarageAustralia День назад
There is pretty much no wind over here. We are in a valley and apart from the occasional light breeze, it's not worth doing ins this location. I rather install more solar which is far more efficient in this sunny spot. Car charging from DC solar directly will not be possible to use at home. There are far too many regulations and costs involved. It all sounds good in theory, but it is not practical. It's like all these new battery chemistries they promised coming out soon. We have not seen any of that except sodium... AC charging the vehicle is totally fine. 10% loss is a great efficiency and, in my opinion, it is not worth chasing another 3-4% gain in such a case.

Hi Andy. Greetings from Romania. I use Homeassistant and the same card as you! I integrated the jk b2a20s20p bms into the HA with a 16 MB31 battery from EVE with the help of the esp32 uni module. it works ok, but I think I discovered a problem with the bms, which when there are float voltages around, when the battery is full, it no longer correctly indicates the current neither when charging nor when discharging, therefore also the power. I calibrated the bms, when the battery is not in the float state it indicates correctly! I think that my hybrid deye inverter introduces pulses into the battery to keep it in float and the bms reads them wrong! I measured one at the same time with the clamp-meter and the current indicated by the bms in the float is incorrect!

Recently I've noticed the Victron SOC being inaccurate at the lower SOC. Here in the UK recently the sun has disappeared and my two 24V 280Ah batteries have been heavily discharged. I have my system set up to prioritise solar and the grid only kicks in to charge them when their voltages drop into the steep part of the discharge curve. They did this several times last night but Victron thought the SOC was around 35% Sometimes the charger kicks in during the day due to voltage drops caused by heavy loads from power tools and the kettle etc but overnight I don't have these voltage drops and so the cells are actually in that steep part of the discharge curve which I would consider to be a lot lower SOC than Victron's 35% guess. When I look at the Ah graph on VRM it is evident that with each charger cycle the graph steps up indicating that either the discharge or charge amps in/out (or both) are not being accurately recorded. My guess is that the Peukert calculation is the reason for this step in the graph but no different setting seems to fix it. I just don't think that Victrons Peukert setting and charge efficiency setting will ever allow totally accurate recording of SOC and so after a long time without a 100% reset we get this horrible SOC drift. I had the same problem on a previous boat with a Victron BMV and shunt and lead acid batteries.

Hi Andy, thanks for demonstrating that also you click the wrong confirm buttons ;o) BTW. Maybe you try another test. I observed my SmartShunt two years now and in my installation its drift is propotional to the time since last sync. In numbers it means that it drifts 0,78% SoC per day (which is equal to a 100mA "hidden load" - maybe its own uncounted consumption?). For average usage it is extremely accurate. Only if I put unusual loads to the system the factor slightly changes. So maybe this is worth to investigate. Beste Grüße aus der alten Heimat!

Well, it’s actually NOT that the SmartShunt is underreporting… it’s that your batteries have now 12% degradation! 😀

12% error in 161 days not bad. Did you do a zero amp calibration? The JK inverter BMS has this error already in a day. How can I get in contact with JK about this incorrect SOC measurement?

Andy one situation to use bms to communicate with Victron. My system is 100% off grid. I must run my generator to fill my pressure tank, 240 volt pump. When the generator is running it also charges batteries through multiplus. This bumps the voltage of the batteries and causes solar chargers to stop charging as they see batteries full. With JK BMS communication to Venus is I don’t waste solar using Victron DVCC.

That problem can be solved through DVCC and SVS for example. I had similar issues but if all devices read the same voltage, there is no issue any more. A gen kicking in should not cause a voltage spike. This energy should be absorbed by the battery.

I have a question. Woulf it Not be better to Set the Charge voltage a little higher then 3.45V? So charging would be shorter? I drive mine to 3.55V and that is far shorter then 3.45V.

So can you add the Victron conditions to the Jk bms for reset to 100% when you are in contact with the enginieers?
@BenBrand
@BenBrand День назад
If you went 5 months without getting to 100% does that mean your loads are always perfectly matching your solar production? Or is there a certain battery percentage where you start drawing from the grid? If that were the case I would have expected the batteries to never have shut down like you mentioned happening one or two times.

I have to adapt my loads through winter. I cannot have hot water and charge the EV at the same day. Hot water has obviously priority, so have to charge the vehicle from the grid. I'll make a video soon to show how I can survive through the winter. On batteries charged in Summer!😉

That’s actually a pretty good time for not resetting. The JKs did reasonable well. You could probably find tune them closer but is it really worth it. By the way Andy, have you snugged up on the terminal screws on the Victron charge controllers? That’s only issue with Victron, they tend to loosen up after a while and let out the magic smoke.

Never checked the screws no. They have spring washers so cannot really loosen, I believe. But I'll check.

For smart shunt settings, I found the Victron suggested parameters were terrible. I wound up changing the "Charged detection time" to 3 minutes, the "Charged Voltage" to just below the charge target voltage, and, most importantly, I reduced the "Current Threshold" to 0.10A. That seems to avoid false 100% SOC reset triggers due to weather conditions. -Matt

Remember that the charge and discharge curves are different. Just measuring the battery voltage tells you almost nothing about the state of charge. You also have to know whether it is the voltage being measured while charging, while discharging, and by how many amps. Even at very low amps there is a huge difference between the bank voltage while charging verses the bank voltage while discharging.

Using a shut to work out state of charge unless reset at peek charge will always have increasing errors. Its acts as an integrator which will always have a increasing error due to offsets never being zero. You cannot defy the laws of physics.

Does the victron smart shunt take several voltage frames to get its accuracy so it has a reference when countingthe amps. I have found with mine, I have a few different batteries with their own bms, seplos and batrium wm5. I found the problem with the total shunt count is the bleed from the bms to getting accounted for in the total shunt. The seplos is the older version, I haven't done a full charge since adding all the batteries together, so it will be interesting seeing the difference.
@super_hot_gatto

I'm reading so many ppl have problems with deep disharge and under voltage in their battery packs... I can't believe how you can permit that. My Victron multiplus ALWAYS setting up to recharge my battery from grid 5% points if go down a certain threshold. If you have big packs ( 15+kwh ) you MUST have a backup to keep your battery charged over a minimum threshold, that's so inexpensive compared to lost/damage a battery pack
