Have a Dometic CFX35. This was very helpful! I had to go to Harbor Freight and buy a screwdriver extender in order to get the screws out that held the p-clamps. Then I had a hard time figuring out whether the plate with the single screw goes in front of the to or behind the part we had to move out of the way to access the p-clamps.😤 Accidentally put one of the 14 little screws into a wrong home in the underside of the fridge and couldn’t get it out, co one hole was left without its original screw.🙄. And I was left with a small flat washer left over..(?). But it runs, and it turned itself off when it reached the set temperature.Yay for that! Thanks for including taking the cover off the control board, so we could see where the plug-in was supposed to go!!

Change that start balance voltage to 3.45 anything lower unbalances your battery because its playing the voltage game and does not correlate to amp hours in the battery due to the flat charge curve
@ericklein50973 ай бұрын
The JK BMS app shows each balance lead resistance value so its a great way to show people that YES trimming the balance leads does in fact affect the resistance of wire....now the thing is with passive balancing (usually around 100mA on the 50A or 100A BMS's) you have so little current going through the wire that even with 22AWG it shouldn't change the voltage TOO much...but it will slightly affect your attempts to balance if you have one or two full length balance leads and one or two very short ones. The long ones are going to show more voltage drop when the balancer is activated so they will charge higher than the short wires.

The cost difference between EVE LF100/LF105's vs LF280K/LF304 is just so small that it doesn't make sense to buy the smaller cells. Not sure what the price is on the newest MB30 and MB31 (actual capacity for EV Grade A cells is like 320Ah and 330Ah respectively but nominal capacity is 306Ah and 314Ah IIRC). Grade A EV cells should yield a few percent over the nominal rating during a 0.2C discharge so the 280K's are yielding 300'ish all day and the 304's are yielding 320'ish all day. Last I checked the 100/105's were $55 and 280's were $75-$80 with the 304's coming in at a few dollars more. Triple the capacity for about 50% more? Just a no brainer unless space is absolutely the biggest hurdle....in which case why settle for such....mediocre prismatic cells? Get some higher discharge cells...quite a few options that will do 3C continuous and 5C burst. If you step it down to 20Ah cylindrical cells (or even a few prismatic and a bunch of pouch) you can get 10C cells. Currently the hottest thing in the BatteryHookup/Jehu Garcia world (or any used cells really) is the LEV60F cells. Dirt cheap from BH at $30 each. 74Ah and capable of 5C continuous....Jehu was pushing them at 8C and they were holding 12V with a 600A load. I guess BMW used to use them and they are new old stock, not used. The 4 I've purchased got capacity tested at 50A (so like...0.66C figured I'd give them a hard discharge since they are power cells) and I pulled 72Ah from each one. Internal resistance is about 0.40mR per cell on the RC3563....I know the YR meters tend to give a lower number but their manual does flat out say that it can't be relied upon for measurements below 0.3mR and under 0.5mR or 1mR you need to have the ZR function on. So you could build a 148Ah battery capable of pushing out 1000A technically for $240+shipping on the cells...lets call it $300 USD. Then $50 for a BMS and another $100 for various other parts depending on how you want to build it. Jehu does sell aluminum plates that are meant to keep these cells compressed which is essential for high discharge applications.

Great video, I did a very similar install for my PX2 Wildtrak. I now have a 2024 V6 Wildtrak with the Premium Package that includes 6x auxiliary switches. Are you familiar with these switch's? Was thinking of using them somehow for grey/red, caravan reverse camera and ignition source for bcdc charger in van. Would have to remember to turn on and off when using van, but I don't have an issue with that. Thought it may make install a little easier as all prewired, relayed and protected.

Did I miss the point where you charged it to 14.6V before doing the discharge? If the cells were out of balance you would need to wait days for the tiny balance resistorss to do their thing. A resting voltage of 11 indicates it is not yet fully discharged. If the fridge load made the voltage sag for the BMS to trip the display would be dead. It appears your Fridge can't go low enough. 110ah in bit of concern if the meter is calibrated. Picked up one yesterday for $250AUD yesterday. Will see how it goes.
@mathewemy5 ай бұрын
Gave it a day and a half at 14.6V to make sure it was balanced, capacity tested down to 11.65V with 1282Wh on the dial with a 20amp load. Battery is 13Kg. The Current generation 100Ah cells are around 2Kg. The weight supports the teardown video showing it has 8 X 60AH cells that are probably aged. Still for intermitent use (camping as advertised) I expect it should last many years. Had no bolts for the terminals!
