Here is a small collection of all the problems and issues I have found in my comments, some forums and you sent me via email about the JK-BMS.
And, I'm not sure if they will be fixed and if JK is still actively developing their firmware.
Some new firmware versions are floating around in the interwebs but they are not officially on the JK-BMS website for download. Lots of communication issues and customer service complaints have been reported, next to all these technical problems with the BMS.
It seems, the glory days of actively working with the JK team and develop new firmware quickly and efficiently are over!
So, is it time to move on and look for something else?
You can find the latest firmware on my Google Drive through the links on my website here:
