I show again what exactly happened to the BMS and the strange 0.6V voltage drop across the BMS. I really thought it is broken. Apparently it is not and just a normal behaviour if the Discharge switch is set to off.
I didn't know that and it would have such a consequence . Thanks to the community and my viewers here, I learned something. I'm sure not many people know that, so hence the detailed video with the explanation.
The JK BMS is great again 👍

If you would check the app screen whenever the jump happens, you can see the 'discharge' kicking in automatically. Should have been a hint :) The BMS enables the discharge MOSFETs once enough current is flowing. It still protects the battery from being discharged because once the current drops, the discharge MOSFETs are disabled again by the BMS.

There is nothing weird here, completely within expectation for people who know how back-to-back FET battery over-charge/discharge setup works. The two back-to-back FETs in their off-state act like two diodes facing each other, blocking all current. If you turn one FET on, it bypasses one of those two diodes and allows current to flow with one diode drop in one direction. You have to turn on the other FET to make its body-diode voltage drop disappear and the BMS automatically does that once the current is high enough to justify it.

Look at the BMS phone monitor screen at top for discharge 'OFF' as you raise the charging current. It turns to 'ON. All BMS's do this to avoid overheating with high current whenever charging or discharging is disable. It overrides the disable when the allowed current goes higher to avoid overheating MOSFET with their body diode voltage drop when turned off. It uses current measurement by BMS's shunt resistor to monitor current level and flow direction. It re-enables the discharge 'OFF' setting when charging current drops. Again, this is to avoid too much heating of MOSFET's at higher pass currents.

@jackoneil3933 2 жыл бұрын

So what is happening to clarify any questions someone might have: The two banks of mosfets are not two paths, they are the same path but in anti-series that means there are two sets of N-channel mosfets, pointing in two opposite directions. The reason that they are in series is because a mosfet is only a switch in one direction, the other direction it is a diode (called the body diode and is impossible to remove because of how the mosfet is made) So that is how you can control the direction of current flow, one mosfet is trying to conduct in one direction Drain to Source and the other is acting as a diode Source to Drain. The reason that he is getting a 0.6v drop when the discharge is off is because he has one set on and the other set in series is off so they are acting as a diode so there is 0.6v drop across. This voltage only goes away when the current is high enough then the BMS can detect it and protects the body diodes (they make a bad diode which will certainly not handle 200A) so it automatically turns on the discharge fets to drop the voltage across them and current would be able to flow in both directions, but if the BMS sees current in the opposite direction it should turn them back off again. Hoped this clarified everything a little better.

Just the normal behaviour of an open switch. If the discharge an charge function is deactivated, it has to be this way. Draw the whole circuit with the battery cells, the charger and the bms. Then note the voltage drops across these 3 devices. if the battery is at 57v, the charger at 58v and the BMS is set to charge off & discharge off, you see the remaining 1v as voltage drop across the bms. can also be 13v, if you turn up the charger to 70v (at some point you might damage the bms, so don't try ;)) Just apply Kirchhoffs law. If you switch on charging AND discharging at the same time, both MOSFET "banks" are switched on and will have close to 0mV voltage drop in total. So far so good. It is a litte bit different as soon as you switch on charge or discharge, but only ONE of both functions. Remember, the MOSFETs have an internal body diode. Try to draw the circuit with both these MOSFETS, one is for switching off the charging current, the other one can switch off the discharge current. The two MOSFET (banks) are connected in series, If one MOSFET is switched of, the current can still pass in its body diode - but it will result in the diode forward voltage drop being visible across the bms. This can hurt the MOSFETs really bad at higher currents as it will result in big power dissipation in the body diodes, which will fry the MOSFETs - so the BMS will monitor the current direction, and then close both (!) MOSFETs even though only charging or discharging is enabled. As soon as the charging current goes near zero, it will open the MOSFET corresponding to the deactivated function again.

It's probably worth mentioning that there are NOT separate charge and discharge paths. The reason that there are two FETs in series is a little more complicated: The magic of FETs is that they can conduct equally well in either direction when On. The problem however is that there's an inherent body diode across the Drain and Source, which means that even when the FETs are Off, they can conduct in one direction (albeit inefficiently). The answer to this is to connect two FETs in series (but opposing) which prevents the body-source diodes from conducting. To put it another way, the junction of the two FETs is not available externally, so the path for both Charge and Discharge is via both FETS in series. And both FETs must be switched on for there to be a path. And lastly, both Gates are connected together, so they cannot be switched individually. Edit: Have just watched the rest of the video. It seems clear that you have misled yourself by talking about separate Charge and Discharge switches. It is true that the settings in the software allow different current settings for this, but the key point is that THERE IS ONLY ONE SWITCH!. eg the FETs cannot be individuality switched.

@upnorthandpersonal 2 жыл бұрын

"And lastly, both Gates are connected together, so they cannot be switched individually." This is not correct. They can be switched individually (and are), but they only conduct through the parasitic diode at low current. The reason they can be switched individually is to do exactly what the BMS is supposed to do: prevent discharge when discharge is disabled and prevent charge when charge is disabled - from the battery perspective. The BMS will enable both MOSFETs when there is enough current so it guarantees the battery won't get drained (in the case discharge is enabled) and will only enable the charge MOSFETs (if charge is disabled and discharge enabled) if the current flow from the battery increases (so it knows the MPPT is not delivering enough to also charge). It uses the parasitic diode of the MOSFET as a feature to do this.

@graemezimmer604 2 жыл бұрын

@@upnorthandpersonal Thanks, but I'm trying to follow your argument.. > prevent discharge when discharge is disabled, and prevent charge when charge is disabled Why not simply switch off both FETs? > The BMS will enable both MOSFETs when there is enough current so it guarantees > the battery won't get drained (in the case discharge is enabled) If discharge is enabled, then both FETs are already on, so a discharge is possible. (assuming battery voltage is above cut-off) I've yet to see a convincing reason to switch the FETs individually.

@upnorthandpersonal 2 жыл бұрын

@@graemezimmer604 This would be easier with a diagram and the ability to post links, but let's try - assume the BMS does not do what it's doing in Andy's case and enable the discharge FET at higher current... Suppose you want to allow discharge, but not charge, for whatever reason (temperature, whatever). Using two MOSFETs independently means you can turn off charging and guarantee discharge is still allowed because of the body diode in the turned off charge FET. The reverse is also true: you can guarantee charging is enabled, while discharge is absolutely blocked since the discharge FET is off; the charge current flows through the body diode of the turned off discharge FET. The reason for the BMS to auto switch at higher currents is to prevent the FETs overheating from the current through the diode. Please search for the following which explains this much better than I can in a YT comment: "Lithium-Ion Batteries and Applications: A Practical and Comprehensive Guide to Lithium-Ion Batteries and Arrays, from Toys to Towns." This book should be available online. Look at page 363 onward. There are other resources as well that explain this; wish my comments with links weren't auto deleted...

This is very interesting. I could help diagnosing my issue. I have a similar issue with a JBD bms on a 300ah java energy battery. I am using the xiaoxiang app and when I turn off both the charging and discharge switch I still have about 12.9 volts on the battery when I turn on some light load like my LED lights in my trailer I can see a very small amount of current start to flow. When I turn on more load like my heater blower the charging switch turns itself on and the amperage goes up to 7 or 8 amps also the voltage then increases to the actual battery voltage, in this case 13.4v. I turn off the fan motor the load drops and the charging switch returns itself to the off position and voltage again drops to 12.9 or 12.7 if I have my LED lights on.. I'm trying to figure out if this BMS is bad. Seems similar but reverse of what you are doing here.

This is the 8s-24s version for my 16s battery B2A24S20P. There is also a pure 8s version available now which does nto need an additional power supply. Links are here: off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bms/

@trevortrevortsr2 2 жыл бұрын

The charge goes through mosfetts in the BMS which are semi conducts and therefor not perfect conductors - they have a small onward resistance - Its why they heat up and are fixed to heat sinks - this small resistance account for the small difference in charge voltage going into the BMS and voltage of the battery, this difference will go up in proportion to the charge current.

@graemezimmer604 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry, but completely wrong. The reason that FETs are used is that they have exceedingly low resistance when on. The point of the discussion however is that when Andy is seeing the voltage drop, the FETs are NOT on.

YES, I paid money for this headache. mostly for the heater connection which is also a useless overly confusing gimmick because every heat pad already has a thermostat. bummer.

@OffGridGarageAustralia Жыл бұрын

But the thermostat in the heat pad is more for safety purposes if the normal temperature regulation does not turn of the pad.

@immrnoidall Жыл бұрын

@@OffGridGarageAustralia I now see the pads thermostat actually comes on way before needed and would be on a lot more than needed. Most likely because it is for heating big tanks an keeping them from freezing.

This is not the optimal behaviour/design. Not for us tinkers that like to play with the charge and discharge switches. Keeping in mind that the two MOSFETs are connected in series (Not parallel which might be the more intuitive assumption.) then both MOSFETSs are required to be on for charging and both are required to be on for discharging. So it would be a bit confusing to label one MOSFET as charge and the other as discharge. We could instead label them based of whether their body diode points in to the battery or out of the battery. The optimal behaviour is: Charge on and discharge on = both MOSFETs on. Charge off and discharge off = both MOSFETs off. Charge on and discharge off = out facing MOSFET on and in facing MOSFET controlled as an ideal diode (in facing diode prevents discharge) Charge off and discharge on = in facing MOSFET on and out facing MOSFET controlled as an ideal diode (out facing diode prevents charging) When controlled as an ideal diode there should be only 10 or 20 mV drop. Not 600 mV. We see the BMS is already actively turning on the discharge switch when charge current is "high enough". All they need to do is replace whatever detection they are using with a more sensitive 10 mV detection. I guess they they don't because it would cost a few $ more.

The body diode in the MOSFET that is used for this is essentially parasitic, and therefor far from ideal.

This JK device is a common port BMS where charger and load are connected to the same P- port. How is this different from the other relay based BMS? How does JK work that it can disconnect charger and load separately if they are both on the same port?

@dobrzpe 2 жыл бұрын

"FET" and "diode". (able to control direction of electricity) relay -> just a switch, when on allows electricity in both directions, or when off neither direction. OR what i like to call BLACK MAGIC! lol

@@dobrzpe Thanks. Just found the diagram of mosfet internal connection. Basically two banks of mosfets connected in series with body diode in opposite direction, then turning on/off each bank for desired operation.

All mosfets have a ON resistance or RDSon this is voltage you are looking at . It is proportion to the current through the BMS be that charging or discharge . More coulombs = bigger voltage drop & more heat ….... If the BMS is OFF you see the voltage difference across it . So the pack voltage minus the power supply voltage .

We can use this BMS with a DC to DC booster and undervoltage protection if needed. Wait for upcoming video here to confirm. Then there may be other options more suitable and cost effective depending on the what you need and use it for.
