Hey everyone,

I am having some problems with my BMS setup. I went for a charge only BMS and set everything up according the wiring schematics in the image below. But my batteries don’t seem to charge. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for the advice!

Not sure to be honest, your wiring looks good. Maybe double check all connections again and if nothing is found you may have a bad bms

Is there anyway I can check if my BMS is bad?

I unplugged my balance wires and it is charging now. Could that mean my balance wires are in the wrong order?

Yeah, they were most likely in the wrong order

Thanks for your help! I checked the voltage on my balance wires:

  1. 4 V
  2. 7.6 V
  3. 10 V
  4. 14 V
  5. 17.4 V
  6. 17.4 V
  7. 21 V
  8. 24.3 V
  9. 28 V
  10. 31.7 V

The values seem oke right? So would the BMS be broken than?

Did you plug them in that order? Make sure that your 1-5 wires come from the battery that supplies the negative lead to your esc
