4. სპეციფიკაციები

Below are the detailed technical specifications for the GODIYMODULES BMS module. Please note that typical values are provided, and slight variations may occur.

Figure 4.2: Detailed specifications for continuous discharge/charge current and quiescent current.

შენიშვნა ტ.tage Discrepancy: The product title mentions "4.2V Lithium Li-ion Battery". This typically refers to the nominal maximum charging voltage per cell for standard Li-ion batteries. The "Over-charge Detection Voltage" of 3.75V (typical) refers to the voltage threshold at which the BMS initiates overcharge protection for an individual cell. The BMS is designed for 4.2V cells.

Note on Current Rating: The product title mentions "25A", while specifications list "Common-port Discharge Current (Continuous): 18A" and "Over-discharge Protection Current: 60A (peak)". The continuous discharge and charge current is 18A. The 25A likely refers to a maximum instantaneous or burst current, or a different model variant. For sustained operation, adhere to the 18A continuous rating.

Careful wiring is critical for the correct and safe operation of the BMS. Follow these instructions precisely.

გაყვანილობის ნაბიჯები:

1. ბატარეის პაკეტის მომზადება: Ensure all individual cells in your battery pack are balanced (have similar voltages) before connecting to the BMS. This is crucial for optimal performance and safety, especially since this BMS does not have an active balancing function.
2. Connect Main Negative (B-): Connect the thickest negative wire from the BMS (labeled B-) to the main negative terminal of your entire battery pack (the negative terminal of the first cell).
3. ბალანსის ლიდების დაკავშირება:
   • The BMS comes with a multi-pin connector and thin wires (balance leads). These wires must be connected to the positive terminals of each individual cell, starting from the first cell's positive terminal (which is also the negative of the second cell).
   • Connect the first balance lead (often labeled B1 or the lowest numbered wire) to the positive terminal of the first cell (Cell 1+).
   • Connect the second balance lead (B2) to the positive terminal of the second cell (Cell 2+), and so on.
   • The highest numbered balance lead (e.g., B13 for a 13S pack) connects to the main positive terminal of the entire battery pack (Cell 13+).
   • მნიშვნელოვანია: Connect the balance leads in ascending order of cell voltage. Incorrect order can damage the BMS.
   • For fewer than 13S: If your battery pack has fewer than 13 cells (e.g., 7S), connect the unused higher-numbered balance leads (e.g., B8 through B13 for a 7S pack) to the same point as the highest active balance lead (B7+ in a 7S example). This effectively bridges them to the pack's positive terminal.
4. Connect Load Negative (P-): Connect the negative terminal of your load (e.g., motor controller, inverter) to the P- terminal on the BMS.
5. Connect Charger Negative (C-): Connect the negative terminal of your battery charger to the C- terminal on the BMS.
6. Main Positive Connection: The main positive terminal of the battery pack (Cell N+, where N is your series count) is typically connected directly to the positive terminals of both the load and the charger, bypassing the BMS for the positive path. This is a common-port BMS design.

Always double-check all connections with a multimeter before applying power. Verify that the voltage across each balance lead corresponds to the correct cell voltage.

6. ოპერაციული პრინციპები

The GODIYMODULES BMS continuously monitors the voltage of each individual cell within the battery pack, as well as the overall current flowing in and out of the pack. When any monitored parameter exceeds or falls below its predefined safe threshold, the BMS will activate its protection mechanisms.

• გადატვირთვისგან დაცვა: თუ რომელიმე უჯრედის ტtage rises above the overcharge detection voltage (e.g., 3.75V), the BMS will cut off the charging current to prevent cell damage. Charging will resume once the cell voltage drops to the recovery voltage.
• დაცვა ზედმეტი გამონადენისგან: თუ რომელიმე უჯრედის ტtage ეცემა ზედმეტი განმუხტვის აღმოჩენის მოცულობაზე დაბლაtage (e.g., 2.1V), the BMS will cut off the discharge current to prevent irreversible cell damage. Discharge will resume once the cell voltage rises to the recovery voltage (typically by applying a charge).
• ჭარბი დენის დაცვა: If the discharge or charge current exceeds the specified limits (e.g., 18A continuous, 60A peak discharge protection), the BMS will temporarily cut off the current to protect the battery and the BMS itself. This protection typically recovers automatically once the overload is removed.
• ტემპერატურის დაცვა: The BMS monitors its own temperature or an external thermistor (if connected). If the temperature exceeds safe operating limits, it will cut off charge/discharge to prevent thermal runaway.

7. Დიაგნოსტიკა

If you encounter issues with your BMS module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Output Power / BMS Not Functioning:
  • Verify all wiring connections, especially the main B-, P-, C- terminals, and all balance leads. A single incorrect balance lead connection can prevent the BMS from operating.
  • შეამოწმეთ ტtage of each individual cell. If any cell is significantly overcharged or under-discharged, the BMS may be in a protected state.
  • Ensure the main battery pack voltage is within the operational range for your series configuration.
• BMS Cuts Off Power Prematurely:
  • ჭარბი დენი: The load might be drawing more current than the BMS's continuous or peak rating. Reduce the load or ensure your application's current draw is within limits.
  • ზედმეტი გამონადენი: One or more cells might be reaching their low voltage threshold faster than others, indicating an unbalanced pack or a faulty cell. Check individual cell voltagეს.
  • ტემპერატურა: The BMS or battery pack might be overheating. Ensure adequate ventilation.
• ბატარეა არ იტენება:
  • Verify the charger is connected correctly to C- and the main positive.
  • Check if any cells are in an overcharged state, triggering overcharge protection.
  • დარწმუნდით, რომ დამტენის მოცულობაtage and current output are compatible with your battery pack and BMS.

If issues persist after troubleshooting, contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
