Hi, I’ve been using two Lifepo4 banks 24v 360Ah for two weeks now. After several days, I managed to program both BMSs. I’d like to connect both BMSs to my Windows computer. What do I need for this?
You’d need a capable version of the firmware for it. Furthermore, if the HW is enabled for this, then you need to connect the RS485 port to your laptop using a rs485-usb converter. It depends a little where the RS485 port physically is on the BMS. On my latest recent version of this BMS (19.2.1) it’s on the GPS connector. Version before it was on the RS485/CAN port. Don’t forget to choose the right protocol in the settings of the BMS.
