I made my own battery pack in a 8 by 3 series parallel configuration and this bms Link. After about a year a bad weld came undone and shorted a parallel group. My question is, can the bms be used again or is it ruined now that it protected the other cells from the short?
Thanks.
Your good. Hook it up.
Does it look like there are any burned components on the BMS?
Not that I could tell with the help of a cheap magnify glass
It’s likely okay but every once in a while check your battery voltages at the end of a charge or discharge cycke to make sure they aren’t coming out of balance
Okay, thanks guys.
