Still no word from JK about the new BMS... what better could we do than a quick tutorial about how and when to balance LiFePO4 batteries. I often see that users are setting the balance start voltage too low. They think it's better to start earlier to give the balancer more time to do its job. Especially when using the passive balancer of the BMS, we tend to panic and balance early.
However, this will achieve the exact opposite of the desired outcome of balancing: already low voltage cells are getting discharged even further.
I have my whiteboard out and explain quickly what is happening. Only until the JK developer team has the new firmware ready. Who knows, how long this will take though...
This video is by no means an comprehensive guide on how to balance. but it gives you a good starting point. There is a lot more too it, like current, deviation, voltage, system design and including all these factors would not made it an easy to understand tutorial. Also, all systems are different and there is no settings which fits all, while the balance start voltage will work for all balancers.
