Can Anyone explain me how to wire my bms for just charging?
Yep! Couple of quick questions while I start to draw out a diagram. Do you have a 6s or a 7s pack? (I think this BMS was made for 7s). Did this come with balance wires? (bare wires on one end that all go into a connector on the other that plugs into the white port on the left)
My Battery is 6s, I bought the 6s Bms, maybe the picture in different, but still the same wiring, my battery have the balance wires
Main pos terminal on battery to main positive on connector
Main neg to B-
P- to negative connector terminal
Wire balance leads according to the main negative lead 1 being 3.7 2 being 7.2 etc till you hit 6 at 22.2
Could you explain better. I put my Negative cable of the battery on B-?
Yes the main negative terminal from battery to b-
I’m drawing but had a question. @barajabali isn’t there also usually a 3rd neg input on the BMS for charging? 1 input for charging, 1 for discharge (to load, VESC or switch in this case), and 1 for the battery pack?
Oh yea I forgot the charging
Charger negative to p- same port
Charger positive to main positive terminal
But how I put my Bms for just charging?
Basically as long as your switch is connected straight to the battery it’ll won’t handle discharging (and so just charging).
I’ve just never seen a BMS that handles both charging and discharging through the same location (solder point). Assuming I understood that part correctly, here’s your diagram.
It won’t blow my BMS during my run with the Skateboard? The bms is only 20a
If you’re only charging with the BMS, you could have a 5 amp BMS and it wouldn’t matter. It doesn’t care about discharging (which is usually what the amp rating is referring to).
I will note that there is some danger here and you need to triple check that your VESC settings are properly set in order to not go under voltage, since you no longer have the additional cutoff protection that the BMS would add
Okay, sure. So in this esquematic after Power Switch goes Vesc?
In simple terms, yes. Switch could mean lots of things (like a loop key or some variation on vedder’s anti-spark switch), but that would then go to the VESC.

Oh, Legal, But Let’s talk in English to practice, It’s a bit difficult to me understand somethings that’s why I ask too much. But you helped me with this chinese Bms.
No worries, ask as much as you want! I’m a little better at English anyways
