The QSO DIY Box Review. All new, but nothing new! The frogs are not happy🐸 Off-Grid Garage 2025-09-18 | Today, we are having a look at the new QSO DIY Box. This is their latest attempt in making such a kit and... well... I would carefully describe it with: it has some potential to get better over time!Even it is a new development and a new box for QSO, I have to be very harsh and strict here. Such boxes and kits are out on the market for years, and the expectations of the customers and community are very, very high. Extremely high! There is pretty much no room for errors, mistakes, bad design, forgotten features anymore. The market and competitors are unforgiving; we expect the perfect DIY-Kit these days.

The Overkill Pathfinder BMS on the Testbench. Too much is not working... Off-Grid Garage 2025-09-13 | OK, this is the second part of testing the Pathfinder BMS from Overkill Solar. I have now connected it to a 48V battery and are following along the documentation to cycle the battery while the BMS learns all about it and gets mor confident in calculating the BMS. BUT what I found so far is less than impressive! This BMS, the app, the connections have so many issues, that I don't know where to start. It will be a very long way for Overkill to get this all right and make a nice BMS out of this... beta version? Is it even a Beta-version?Balancer design, heat radiation, app crashes, constant logins, faulty current calibration,... the list goes on and on...But I also found something which works quite well with this BMS: the MQTT linking and Home Assistant integration. Whoops, read the pinned comment.All info and prices of the Pathfinder BMS are here on my website:off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsPlease subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!For more information, please check out my website with links to all the batteries, materials, devices and products I have used in my videos: off-grid-garage.comYour great support is much appreciated!

The new Pathfinder BMS from Overkill Solar - but, has it found its path, yet? Off-Grid Garage 2025-09-07 | I got really excited when Overkill Solar announced this new BMS last year. The specs and features looked great: 1A balancer, Wifi, OTA-updates, display, positive side switching, Home Assistant support and much more.So, here we are and this BMS now sits on my workbench. The BMS itself looks great, well designed and built. Everything is at the right place and easy to operate. The screen is tiny though and I wish it would be bigger and even detachable. Some features are a bit clunky to work out how they are intended to be used. Overkill supplies a 46-page documentation, but this lags some details on how to do a basic setup of Wifi and OTA-updates. There is a lot of trial and error with these two basic functions.It also seems, that not all settings are accessible through the screen or app yet. A BMS comparison between other brands and models and the Pathfinder BMS leaves a few questions open...Overkill Solar Pathfinder BMS, prices and documentation.off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsPlease subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!For more information, please check out my website with links to all the batteries, materials, devices and products I have used in my videos: off-grid-garage.comYour great support is much appreciated!

Yeah, that's better...I'm making good progress in the battery room, installing some cable ducts and... yeah, and then hit a roadblock. I have to make decisions on how to proceed but it's hard to imagine how everything will look like. So, I followed the same approach as with the first PowerWall and built some templates.

Battery and System Room: Prepping for the new installation! But... Off-Grid Garage 2025-08-21 | This is a rather boring video where I mount aluminium panels to the wall. That's pretty much it!OK, of course, there is more to it... First, I had to drive 100km to pick up three aluminium sheets. Australia is a big island, so you have to drive far for little things... Then, I needed a hand to mount these panels to the wall. I used some timber to support the panel while I was fastening it to the studs inside the plaster wall. With the second panel, I didn't need the timber supports any more... well, this was one of the scariest moments in my life!!!

How this active balancer (almost) killed my battery. We knew it, but here is the proof! Off-Grid Garage 2025-08-08 | The QSO battery is dead! No BMS, no voltage, no life!!!Something has happened to this battery while it was just sitting there, not even being connected to anything. Well... it was connected to something: the active balancer inside the battery box! Connected but not activated was apparently enough to deep discharge this battery down to 2.8V! Yeah, that's right, not 2.8V cell voltage but pack voltage?Can we still revive this battery and is it still OK to use it?T-class fuse and other suitable safety devices to protect your system:off-grid-garage.com/battery-accessoriesThe QSO Battery Active Balancer Upgrade.

This new Yixiang DIY Kit could save you some money! And look at these features!!! Off-Grid Garage 2025-08-01 | This DIY box was a bit of an idea we developed a while ago. I was always wondering why these DIY Kits came as a welded box and not as flat panels so people could assemble it themselves. Yeah, exactly like Ikea is doing it!So, Yixiang has worked hard, developed and produced this 'DIY DIY Box' as I call it. The packaging is not what I imagined, but this is the first prototype and we focused on the actual product, not the packaging.I was surprised, that they have upgraded some designs like the circuit breaker, busbars and also added quite a few new features. Especially the new fuse looks really really good and capable of disconnecting such a battery in case of a short.The Yixiang DIY Kits (not this one yet) are coming in three different options.

Lead-Acid to Lithium: Are these few Ah sufficient for the Gate? LiFePO4 capacity test. Off-Grid Garage 2025-07-28 | Before moving on with replacing the dead lead acid batteries in the front gate with LiFePO4 cells, I want to make a last capacity test as I believe that cell #4 will not hold charge for too long and needs replacing before the final installation.As expected, cell 4 has the lowest capacity and the BMS terminates the capacity test, turning off the load as well as the MPPT. This is also a good test to find out if everything starts up again once the sun comes out ans recharges the battery.In a spreadsheet, I have noted all loads and how much Ah will be used over a 24h period. I probably need to make some adjustments to the existing solar to make it work. What do you think...?PALO 32700 LiFePO4 cells, great for such small projects:off-grid-garage.com/batteriesJK-BMS - Jack of all trades and projects.

Lead-Acid to Lithium: EPEVER MPPT Wifi, App, Cloud access, and Charge Algorithm Test Off-Grid Garage 2025-07-21 | Since the last EPEVER video, I made some good progress, thanks to your guys. I have now installed the Wifi dongle for the MPPT solar charge controller and can access all data and settings remotely from my network and also the cloud. The setup was a bit tricky but it now all works nicely together.In this video, I'm trying to figure out how the charge algorithm of this MPPT works and how it charges the PALO LiFePO4. We are testing Absorption, Float and Re-Bulk as well as the timers.

All new EVE MB56 - Worlds First Real Test and Review! What does the Supercell bring to the market? Off-Grid Garage 2025-07-13 | Thanks to the Hakadi Battery Supermarket, I'm one of the first to test and review the new EVE MB56 Supercell! It really is a monster when you compare it to the cells we have used so far. We check the quality, size, weight, compare the internal resistance and of course do a real-world charge and discharge test. In a second test, I'm comparing the MB56 cell with two MB31 cells in parallel.The Hakadi Battery Supermarket has stock of the EVE MB56 cells plus offers many other brands and battery chemistries. As this is an unknown seller of batteries to me, I'm not listing them on my website as a reputable store as of yet. If you have already bought from them, please let us know how their service and products are.If you want to try them out, you can use the discount code Andy&HAKADI and save yourself some cash.hakadibattery.com Battery Data for the EVE LF56.

What is the most SOC accurate JK-BMS in comparison to the Victron Smart Shunt? Off-Grid Garage 2025-07-07 | The SOC calculation or estimation of the JK-BMS is one of the most complaint issues with this device.

New Bluetooth/Wifi PACE BMS tested with new firmware. Worse than before? Off-Grid Garage 2025-07-04 | So, here we are again... Pace has provided a new firmware which is supposed to fix the issues when paralleling the new Pace BMS with older versions already on the market.After upgrading, I noticed the same bugs again: DCL not showing, available capacity wrong, and the main issue that this firmware should have fixed, is still present!The BMS also tells the inverter (or at least it tells my Victron system), that 2 batteries are online, even only one is actually connected. This could lead to dangerous situations and is a huge safety concern when using this BMS.Watch the first two test videos about the new Pace BMS with Bluetooth and Wifi here.Orientpower 230Ah Battery with new PACE BMS and Bluetooth + Wifi.

JK Inverter BMS - New FW with Re-Bulk SOC; how to connect to Master BMS; 100% Reset explained again Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-29 | In this video, we are exploring the new firmware 19.10 for the new JK-Inverter BMS V19. It has one significant change: the previously existing RFV-Timer has now been replaced with a Re-Bulk SOC. This ensures a more consistent re-bulk of the BMS and starts a new charge cycle when SOC goes under a set limit.In a workshop, I also show you how to connect to the Master BMS and change settings without having to alter the DIP switches.And I also explain again, yes again, how the JK-Inverter BMS resets to 100% 😄JK-Inverter BMS.

New Yixiang Vertical DIY Kit - Great colour and design, but why is this still happening...? Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-25 | Today, we're having a look at this gorgeous grey vertical DIY Kit from our friends at Yixiang. At first glance it looks amazing. The outside design really got me and the colour... the colour is beautiful, I really like this grey!One the inside, it is not too much new at first, but looking closer, I can already discover some 'features' which I have to question: cells don't sit in the middle of the box, hundreds of ventilation holes left and right (oh, the bugs will love this!!!), PCB rails screwed from the underside, the cells... wait!!! Oh, dear, what happend to the compression design in this box?Overall, it is great kit, but it definitely needs some work and refinement ins some areas.Yixiang Vertical DIY Kit, all the info and prices:off-grid-garage.com/diy-kitsEVE MB31 from Yixiang, all info and prices:off-grid-garage.com/batteriesMB31 Spec Sheet (go to EVE MB Series - MB31):drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q2Ywa20rnDcqAd5MjBa2XqEDmJImceIO?usp=drive_linkPlease subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!For more information, please check out my website with links to all the batteries, materials, devices and products I have used in my videos: off-grid-garage.comYour great support is much appreciated!

Winter-Solstice 2025 and biggest Off-Grid Challenge: Can we make it through Winter without the grid? Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-22 | Welcome to the shortest day of the year (in terms of usable light😄). In today's video, I show you how my shortest day looks like and why the battery is at 41%SOC all of the sudden, in the middle of the Winter. For two days, I'm doing a bit of an experiment, where I basically charge the exported energy from my grid-tied solar, back into the off-grid battery. This simulates the exact case we will have in 2 year's time, when we are going fully off-grid. It is an interesting and exciting experiment, because for the very first time, I see in a practical experiment, if I have enough solar production and battery storage to make it through winter!You can find the links to the Off-Grid Garage Victron VRM as well as the guest access to the grid-tied solar here on my website:off-grid-garage.com/victron-connect-through-raspberry-piAll 'new' Victron Electric Vehicle Charging Station EVCS.

Seplos V3 BMS with Firmware 1.5 - Current Throttling, Float-State, 100% Reset, but for what purpose? Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-19 | I'm testing the new firmware version 1.5 for the Seplos BMS V3. As per the change log, it comes with a bunch of new features and functions. It now provides current throttling when the battery gets full, an improved method to reset to 100% and a Float-State, which is technical not a float state. So put the BMS on the workbench, upgrade the firmware and test these new goodies...

Lead-Acid to Lithium Conversion turns into a valuable Cell Test and Repair Task. Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-14 | Hahaha, I have to laugh about myself: this is a project in the make for the last 5 years. I always... really always, wanted to replace the lead acid batteries in my solar gate with lithium batteries. It is so annoying, that these AGM blocks will not live longer than 2 years in this location. The gate always fails on us, when you need it most: in really bad weather!So, that's now a thing from the past as I finally do it and replace these batteries and the PWM solar charge controller with something 'new'. A pretty straight forward task and it should not take long...After building the 8s LiFePO4 battery out of PALO cells, the task suddenly turns into a fault-finding, troubleshooting, cell-testing video. There is a ton to learn and observe from this though and I never mind such a twist of an actual project. We will get there eventually and reach the goal of replacing the old AGM batteries with lithium cells. It just may take a bit longer😄Shout-out to @AdamWelchUK for teaching me about solar chargers and batteries 10 years ago.

SOC not accurate in the JK Inverter BMS? Which model works best, V14, V15 or V19? | Part1 Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-08 | In this video, I want to start a test with the JK Inverter BMS and determine which model has the best and most accurate SOC calculation. It is a well-known problem with this BMS, that SOC calculation gets more and more inaccurate if the BMS is not reset to 100% frequently. Especially in winter when most of us don't manage to fully charge the battery for weeks or months, the state of charge shown by the JK BMS is often out of control.So, here we have the new V19, its predecessor V15 and the first gen V14 of the JK inverter BMS all in one test. They compete against the Victron Smart Shunt as the 'point of truth'. This is a long-term test for the next few weeks, where I want to charge and discharge the battery every day but never hit the 100% and actually reset the BMS. This will simulate a typical winter usage of a battery. What drift will we see in these models over this time and how do the individual SOC calculations compare to the Smart Shunt?Get your Smart Shunt here: off-grid-garage.com/battery-accessoriesVictron Smart Shunt, all settings explained: youtu.be/9AjndVSmyEoWatch the experiment life on the SPAT Calibration Centre VRM:vrm.victronenergy.com/installation/219373/share/59a762f8Please subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!For more information, please check out my website with links to all the batteries, materials, devices and products I have used in my videos: off-grid-garage.comYour great support is much appreciated!

3 batteries with different PACE BMS in parallel. PACE asked me to stop testing this! 🤡 Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-05 | Today, I'm trying to parallel the three Orientpower 'Jaki' Batteries and test if the BMS can communicate with each other. From previous testing we did with the Pace BMS, I remember that there were some issues when paralleling different BMS.And, no surprise here, I found a couple of bugs which are so obvious, that you have to wonder if they tested their own BMS at all.To make things even worse, PACE requested that I stop testing their products, and I'm not joking! So, instead of ensuring their new products are compatible with older versions of their BMS, they claim it is unsafe to parallel batteries with different capacities and want me to stop doing that sort of testing!They are under the impression, that a 100Ah and 230Ah battery should not be paralleled because it is dangerous and unsafe!I have no words...The PACE BMS, prices and infos:off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsBMS Comparison Spreadsheet:off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsPace BMS videos:Jakiper's PACE BMS.

Orientpower 230Ah Battery with new PACE BMS and Bluetooth + Wifi. What is going on, Jaki??? Off-Grid Garage 2025-06-02 | In today's comprehensive review, we will take a look at the Orientpower OP48V230 Battery with new and upgraded PACE BMS which now includes Bluetooth and Wifi connectivity.We have tested this battery around 2 years ago and after opening this new one, it all looked familiar. The internal clean design and quality has not changed. But hang on... Was I too quick to praise the Jaki battery?We also have a first look at the new upgraded PACE BMS with Bluetooth and Wifi. The app has still some connectivity issues and only sometimes finds and connects to the Bluetooth of the BMS. The Wifi is nice and gives you access to all BMS data and also settings from anywhere. You need to sign up for an account with an email address and password to use this feature though.Well, what can I say after looking at this battery and BMS. I'm more than disappointed, to be honest.

JK-BMS V14, V15 and V19 in parallel and first full charge. Why no 100% reset of the BMS? Off-Grid Garage 2025-05-23 | This is a bit of an experiment, I wanted to do since the new JK-BMS V19 came out: paralleling all three BMS and see how they work together. I check for all parameters and settings in Venus OS first to ensure they are all correct. Secondly, I fully charge the battery to check on the 100% reset of all BMS... and found a problem when there is no communication to the inverter. As expected, the voltages are slightly different and some of the BMS do not reset. With inverter communication, however, the voltage will be shared across the system and the BMS reset perfectly. This is not particular related to JK but is valid for any other BMS as well which does not communicate with the inverter. So, here again, it shows that a data transfer between the battery and the inverter has a lot of benefits...JK-Inverter BMS with full charge cycle settings and easy to set parameters:off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsPlease subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!For more information, please check out my website with links to all the batteries, materials, devices and products I have used in my videos: off-grid-garage.comYour great support is much appreciated!

2 new hidden features + a new, old bug. The JK-BMS never disappoints! Off-Grid Garage 2025-05-19 | This is a quick update on the last firmware updates for the JK Inverter BMS. It has 2 new features which are not documented in the change-log, but are good to know and helpful. I also explain quickly how the BMS resets to 100% as some users still have problems with that. So, check out the video here, where I explain this in all details: youtu.be/7vEtdS8F9k0And, I found a new annoying bug. It is actually not new but there since the beginning. We just haven't talked about it yet...JK-Inverter BMS. Best on the market with excellent software and communication capability.

Will this 1kW charger be enough to charge a 44kWh battery? Yes, but... Off-Grid Garage 2025-05-13 | So, at the moment, I'm experimenting with a small 1kW grid charger to keep my system running during the night, so the inverter does not shut down because of low voltage. I set up a little routine in Home Assistant which turns on the charger at low voltage and off again once the voltage has risen a bit. That works fantastic so far and is probably the solution I will go with once we go full off-grid. I only need the charger for a few weeks during wintertime, so I decided to not install it permanently anywhere. Once we have the house solar connected, we hopefully don't need this solution anyway anymore and are fully off-grid!Grid battery charger for Li-ion and LiFePO4 (I now found a charger for 15s LiFePO4 which charges to 55.5V.

The impossible Repair of the JK-BMS. Im getting B-Serious! Off-Grid Garage 2025-05-04 | I thought, this would be a quick and fun video, showing the recovery of the JK-BMS which I flashed with the wrong firmware.

Surviving winter with lots of shading with no additional Solar? Preparing for fully Off-Grid. Off-Grid Garage 2025-05-01 | Do I need more solar or more batteries to make it through the Australian off-grid winter? We are going to have a look at the current solar and battery setup as well as the grid-connected solar. Both systems will be merged into one large setup once the feed-in contract runs out in 2027. It is good to prepare for this time and start collecting data about both systems. With the help of Home Assistant, I'm displaying both scenarios next to each other, off-grid and grid connected. We are taking a glimpse into the future when both are connected together. So, the question here is: can we survive on a large battery system charged in summer and make it through winter? That sounds crazy!For now, I have to setup my pool fence solar again to gain a few kWh per day and feed this into the PowerWall 2.0 and the Gopelpower battery.

New JK B-Series BMS with Current Limiter. Great feature with major flaws | Part IV Off-Grid Garage 2025-04-25 | And in the last video about the new 'old-style' B-Series BMS from JIKONG we want to have a look at the Parallel Module or Current Limiter. This is an external device which connects in parallel to the BMS and in the event of an overcurrent disconnect of the BMS, limits the charge current to 5A.That sounds good and brings the B-series BMS to the same 'level' as the inverter BMS. After testing the current limiter module, it seems that this solution is poorly designed and implemented. This Parallel Module has 2 major problems which makes it almost unusable...The new B-Series BMS with all the devices and components as show in in this video series: off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsLiFePO4 QR Code Scanner and Decoder:off-grid-garage.com/batteriesPlease subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!For more information, please check out my website with links to all the batteries, materials, devices and products I have used in my videos: off-grid-garage.comYour great support is much appreciated!

The new old-style JK-BMS V19. And it comes with some features which will blow your... | Part II Off-Grid Garage 2025-04-18 | OK, my friends, we are having a close look at the brand-new hardware version of the 'old-style' JK-BMS, the so called B-Series. From the outside, there is not too much difference except for some new connectors. But exactly these connectors make all the difference. Also, have a look at the very familiar looking parameters and settings of the mobile app. What is going on here?!So, in this second part of the video series, we are having a close look at two new accessories, the Alarm Light with buzzer and the Voice Module. Both can be connected to the new B-Series BMS and trigger through the new DRY1 feature of the BMS and app. New JK-BMS xxHCR Version (heating, CAN and RS485). If you want exactly this new model as shown in the video, please confirm with the store on AliExpress the hardware version is V17 or V19, depending on the model you choose, before you purchase:off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsUnfortunately, the alarm light and voice module are not yet available on the Jikong store.

Finishing the Frankenstein Battery with JK-BMS. Re-using a lot of parts... and snapped a terminal! Off-Grid Garage 2025-04-14 | In today's video, I finalise the install of the Frankenstein Battery. It sits in a Seplos Mason DIY Kit and consists out of 5 different battery types and brands (video link down below).I use the alternative front panel which hosts the JK Inverter BMS but make it fit to the Seplos Mason battery box. Well, it kind of fits as the outside mounting holes do not line up perfectly, but with a bit of filing and drilling, you can make it work! It is actually a good solution if you want to swap the Seplos BMS for a JK-BMS.Seplos 24V/48V DIY Box.

Very low SOC in the battery shelf. And it was my fault😬 Off-Grid Garage 2025-04-07 | We had lots of sunshine yesterday and I used most of this energy to recharge our EVs, just to realise in the late afternoon, that not much went into the batteries to survive the night.Soooo, this morning, I found the battery shelf and the Gobeltower at 45V, still operational and running, but one bank had already shutdown with an undervoltage protection. Not great. To make things worse, the weather today is more like from a small town near the English Channel in late November.I do some investigation on what went wrong and find a few very interesting details about the JK-BMS, SOC calculation and SOC error. I also parallel a full battery bank with 4 empty batteries and explore the current limiter function of the JK-BMS... Will we have enough power to heat up the hot water and get us through another night?Chapters:02:06 What is going on???03:23 It's all my fault!05:11 Very low battery voltage09:09 No undervoltage disconnect for off-grid inverters10:32 One battery out, system keeps running11:19 SOC reset not working | SOC calculation inaccurate17:45 Manual SOC setting in the Victron Smart Shunt19:18 Solar production on a rainy day20:35 Connecting full and empty battery togetherBMS Active Current Limiter - Safety Feature or Gimmick?youtu.be/Rsb8wRqtNs0Can you charge LiFePO4 batteries with different capacities and SOC in parallel?youtu.be/bhCSccNsQOwUp to 20% off Jakiper Batteries.

EEL DIY V5 Build and EVE LF280K Double-Hole Terminals Capacity Test. Whats up with this fuse tho? Off-Grid Garage 2025-04-01 | Today, I received the missing batteries from Steve, which were accidentally mixed up by the EEL warehouse. I got his and he got my batteries. So, we swapped!These are the 4 missing cells to finalise the EEL DIY Kit V5. It is really a nice battery box, but certainly not perfect as you can see throughout the built process here in this video.I also show how to top balance this new battery using nothing but the JK BMS internal active balancer. It is so much more convenient and also a good test of your system and all settings for the BMS. The cell compression is still a hot topic and I often been called out for highlighting the compression systems in these boxes while stating on the other hand, that compression is not necessary. But this is not as contradicting as it sounds. I explain why...At the end, we will also have a look at the fuse EEL installs in these V5 battery boxes. Even after receiving the specifications, I'm not convinced that this is the right fuse for such a battery.0:00 We have a door!2:35 Compressing cells5:36 LFP QR Codes6:17 Heating pad fuse installation8:32 Finalising the V5 box and first test12:54 Top balancing the battery through the BMS17:15 Inverter connection without spark17:57 Discharge test setup24:41 Thermal inspection after 5h26:34 Capacity result and verdict for the EVE LF280K cells from EEL34:35 What's up with the fuse inside the EEL V5 battery box?EEL Battery V5 DIY Kit:off-grid-garage.com/diy-kitsEEL V5 review video, Part I: youtu.be/6kLN3psAdBgEVE LF280K with double-hole terminals.

EV charging challenge: I need to find 46kWh until tomorrow | I also finished the outside wall Off-Grid Garage 2025-03-29 | First up in the video, a quick update on the new JK Inverter BMS V19 and the sensitivity of the shunt as well as on the size of the new screen.I cannot believe, I have finally finished this plasterwork at my new battery room. The last coat, a bit of sanding, another last and very thin layer, done!I also found a solution to fill the gap above the rafters from one room to the other. The mail also delivered the missing cells from Steve, so we can finish the EEL V5 battery and do a capacity test.I'm also facing the challenge that I have to fully charge my wife's EV until the next day 9am. She came home with 8% only and I have to find some 40kWh of energy to get this done. Not a problem with all the batteries, right? Well, it was quite challenging, and I had to come up with a bit of a strategy on how and when to swap batteries so I don't need to get up in the middle of the night and reconnect another battery to keep the charger going.

New JK Inverter BMS V19. First test and... oh, look at his display! + Part I Off-Grid Garage 2025-03-23 | Today, we are having a first look at the brand new JK Inverter BMS V19! Yes, there is new hardware V19. I don't know what happend to V16, V17 and V18 but they don't exist (remind me to ask Jikong about that!). Not too much has changed with the BMS itself but it now has an additional UART port which is not only necessary for the new display but also for additional upgrades which will come in the future. I could also not help myself and install one of these new BMS in the Gobel-Tower, replacing a JK-BMS with a JK-BMS. That was mainly because I wanted to see the new display in action. It can now show the details of all parallel batteries down to the cell voltage level!And, I'm so glad, the V19 is compatible with V15 and also V14! What a good company this JIKONG is. I will tell them that...😄JK-Inverter BMS, the Best on the market! Check out all details, prices and where to buy best.

This JK-BMS would not talk to anything. The fix was unexpected! Off-Grid Garage 2025-03-19 | This is one of those “fun” problems I've been itching to tackle for ages: the very first JK Inverter-BMS I installed in a Gobelpower SR1 battery decided it had trust issues and refused to talk to other BMS units—or even the PC software, for that matter. The Bluetooth app? Oh, that was feeling chatty and worked just fine, letting me access the BMS and tweak the settings. The CAN communication to the Victron Verbo GX? Smooth as butter. But RS485 comms? Dead as a doornail.So, the obvious plan was to swap out the comms board and cables because, you know, why not play hardware roulette? If that failed—and let's be honest, the odds weren't great—I’d have to bite the bullet and contact Jikong for advice. After all, this was the very first JK BMS we ever tested on the channel, so maybe it was just having a mid-life crisis.Cue the ‘crane-action’ (don’t ask) and a fun session of battery Tetris in the Gopelpower stack. With everything in position, I rolled up my sleeves and dove into troubleshooting, only to be greeted by a plot twist I did NOT see coming…The JK Inverter BMS and accessories (display, comms adapter, cables...), best on the market and on the planet.

Truly Off-Grid thanks to Cyclone Alfred! Did we have enough battery backup? Off-Grid Garage 2025-03-15 | There we have it: when the ex-tropical cyclone Alfred hit the east coast of Australia, the sun was still shing at our place. Well, two days later it hit us with a big flood all around us. Like a wonder, we had neither water nor any damage to our property and buildings.But we lost power. No grid, no juice, no lights! That does not matter as we are the Off-Grid Garage, right?! Well, we are not fully off-grid yet. So, we had to expand the electrical network from the off-grid part to the whole house and connect as many devices, fish-tanks, the hot water system and the coffee machine to the battery network. How did I do that and was the battery capacity connected enough until the grid power came back. Here is the story...The fully Off-Grid preparation.

Muller Energy JBD 250A 16s BMS with 5A Balancer. Better than JK?👑 Off-Grid Garage 2025-03-09 | 2 years ago, we had a look at a similar BMS already and many of you requested an 8s and 16s version of this BMS. Well, here it is, the new JBD Smart BMS 'Muller Energy Edition' with 5A active balancer! This is a great BMS with very cool features which you will not find anywhere else: 250A continues current, 5A active balancer, discharge switch, 6s-22s LiFePO4, Touch LCD, 16AWG Balance Cables.It is a modified JBD BMS which can drive a Heltec 5A active balancer. And this is all controlled through the same app and setting as for the internal balancer of this BMS. The Muller Energy BMS also has the 'traditional' discharge switch which disables the discharge FETs to safely allow connecting an inverter.This BMS has very good specs and features, but can it keep up with a JK Inverter BMS or is it even better? Another attack on the JK throne! Will JBD succeed this time?#Mullerenergy #JBD #bms youtu.be/TbKAs--ld7g?si=A0_hOzkklCgjqviqMuller Energy JBD 16s 250A Smart BMS with 5A active Balancer:(Use code OGGA for 5% discount):16S Version incl. 3yrs Warranty and 5A active balancer: https://mullerenergy.com.au/product/16s-250a-bms/16S Version incl. 3yrs Warranty and 5A active balancer: https://mullerenergy.com.au/product/8s-250a-bms/4S Version incl. 3yrs Warranty and 5A active balancer: https://mullerenergy.com.au/product/12v-250a-jbd-smart-bms-with-bluetooth/JK-BMS go home!

Yixiang DIY V2 Upgrade. Can this become THE perfect solution for DIY? Off-Grid Garage 2025-03-06 | I'm back! After some busy family-time off, I'm back in the Off-Grid Garage with another DIY Box upgrade. This time, we are going to replace the cables in the Yixiang DIY box V2 with flexible busbars. This was a concern from a previous review and Yixiang have responded quickly.While we have this DIY box open, we also take care of the display mount and the unnecessary long cable to the display. These are only a few improvements this box still needs.This actually got me thinking, if we, the community, could not build THE BEST DIY BOX ever built?! If we could make a wish list with all the features and specs and Yixiang would build such a box, it would get 5 frogs, right?Leave your comments down below what details such a box needs to have to become the perfect solution for DIY!Yixiang DIY Kit V2:off-grid-garage.com/diy-kitsYixiang Battery Rack Trolley:off-grid-garage.com/diy-kitsYixiang EVE A-Grade cells:off-grid-garage.com/batteriesJK-BMS Display Mounting Bracket (thanks, Nick):makerworld.com/en/models/1048704Heatshrink-Set:off-grid-garage.com/cables-and-connectorsHeatgun "Miss Piggy":off-grid-garage.com/toolsWire Stripper Pliers:off-grid-garage.com/toolsPlease subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!For more information, please check out my website with links to all the batteries, materials, devices and products I have used in my videos: off-grid-garage.comYour great support is much appreciated!

EEL Battery DIY Kit V5. Fantastic battery box but with strange cell compression. Off-Grid Garage 2025-02-23 | Today, we are going to have a look at the brand-new EEL Battery DIY Kit V5. This time, they delivered a white case which looks actually very nice. We are having a look at this new box, all the accessories and components inside, the installation process and also talk about the design aspects of this new kit.EEL Battery also delivered a small upgrade kit for the V4 version of their DIY Kit (which you still can buy btw, link below), which we will quickly install and see, if this fixes the issues we discovered previously.The V5 of the EEL DIY Kit series is very nice and great. I just don't understand who at EEL came up with this strange idea on how to compress the cells inside this box. It just does not make sense to me.So, is the new V5 box worth 4 frogs or do we have to downgrade to 3 frogs only, because of the 'enforced' compression mechanic EEL proposes + some other, small issues?

Cooling the Battery Room (and house): Daikin Cora AC Wifi Installation and HA Integration Off-Grid Garage 2025-02-17 | We are getting closer to install the AC in the Off-Grid Garage Battery and System room. As a final preparation, I'm installing the Wifi module and controller in the Daikin Cora head unit. Once the system is installed and connected, this will enable us to control the AC from within Home Assistant.I also need to make a decision about mounting the outside compressor unit either at the wall or on a concrete foundation.We have 3 of these Daikin units already installed in our house and they work very well.

Jakiper Battery Cable and Busbar upgrade. Ready for 250A? Off-Grid Garage 2025-02-14 | Today we are going to upgrade the #1 battery from 'Jaki' Orient Power with new cables and busbars. This was the first ever built battery of the 48V/230Ah series, and until today, it still had some of the 'prototype' cables installed which were a bit too thin for this battery. Jakiper actually sent the correct cables a long time ago, so today, we finally install them.No problem, cables are quickly replaced, and we can take some time to quickly revisit these awesome batteries from Jakiper: well build, beautiful design and layout and great PACE BMS. I also show some of the highlights of the PC software and why PACE has one of the cleanest layout-designs out there.Be quick and take up to 20% of any of the Jakiper batteries off, if you buy in Australia. The batteries are in stock in NSW and will ship fast with a flat delivery fee, regardless how many you buy.

JBD new energy (LWS) BMS Software and App tested... I cant believe this is still a thing in 2025! Off-Grid Garage 2025-02-09 | In this next video about the LWS BMS aka JBD new energy, we will have a comprehensive look at the software, the mobile app and all parameters and settings we can adjust for this BMS.Even I read the documentation for this BMS before, I was still shocked to discover that the pack overvoltage protection was used as the requested charge voltage, or CVL! That is crazy that we still have to deal with this sh!t in 2025. A BMS protection parameters should never (NEVER) being used to charge a battery. And this is exactly what this BMS, or the current firmware at least, does. The BMS tells the inverter what to do but we cannot charge a battery to a certain voltage and run the BMS into an OVP at the same time. This would not allow for any absorption or balancing. I cannot support such a BMS and software which is 5 years or more behind what we have already achieved with the JK-BMS.Also, some of the default parameters of this BMS are far too high and potentially dangerous. There is a lot of work to do for the team at LWS!JBD new energy BMS, all info and prices:off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bmsBuilding a 48V battery in a 12V enclosure.

JBD new energy 300A Inverter BMS. It is not a JBD though! Off-Grid Garage 2025-02-06 | This is confusing! It is a JBD BMS but not a JBD BMS as we know it. JBD new energy has nothing to do with the Jiabaida JBD BMS we all know. However, JBD new energy holds the trademark for the name 'JBD', but Jiabaida is using JBD as their product name. Understood?😂Anyway, today we are having a first look at the 300A BMS from JBD new energy. It comes with a 3A active balancer, a passive balancer (50-100mA) and a 30A current limiter, a communication board to connect to an inverter as well as up to 32 parallel batteries, a 4.3" touch display and the usual temperature and balance wires. We have a look at the documentation and technical details of this BMS.Because I did not know JBD new energy, I did some research and found surprising details...

Gen-1 EVE cell terminals causing trouble after bus bar replacement. I should have known better! Off-Grid Garage 2025-02-02 | This was an unexpected outcome of the simple task of replacing some busbars in the Battery Shelf. I have shown this a few times here on the channel, when the middle shelf battery charges and discharges slower than the top and bottom shelf battery. I always blamed this on the aluminium bus bars we have used for this battery and the resulting higher internal resistance. So, it is not hard to replace these aluminium bus bars with copper ones and lower the internal resistance. But what, if the resistance actually rises afterwards?🤷♂️Internal Resistance Tester:off-grid-garage.com/measurement-tools-and-analisersDigital Torque Adapter:off-grid-garage.com/tools400W Mini Heat Gun (Miss Piggy):off-grid-garage.com/toolsEVE LF304 with welded studs.
