I believe it is safe to say that that 125A draw you deduce would be the max I'd ever hit. Somehow my memory had picked up and stored from the Morton's video that it had the capacity to balance the cells as well. Find the unit that fits in your system needs the best. The other reason I choose Batrium is because I will have access to the full amperage of the battery pack to boost my chassis battery in my MotorHome (for starting a diesel motor).įor me Batrium fit what needed to be done, For others, it would just be an expensive bms that doesn’t fit their needs. Power will be used until the batteries drop down a ways - then the solar can start back up. As the batteries get full the charge current will drop way down - for balancing. This will (I believe) allow better charging of the batteries. For me it will connect to my Victron CCGX with the Can-Bus. The Batrium makes it easy to start fans and heaters automatically ( and lots of other stuff). I will be getting 8 of the listen 271ah cells (when my boat comes in). I choose the Batrium watchmon4 + expansion board. I believe that unit is designed for leaf batteries and Tesla batteries. If you are looking at Batrium- check out the leafmon. the system I'm aiming for is 24v with a single Tesla 5.2kw battery, solar charging and probably shore power but, not alternator charging. Do I have this approximately right? Does anyone have any input they're willing to share? Thank you! Oh. The advantage of the Watchmon is that the battery's health is better maintained with continuous balancing and that the Watchmon is capable of doing it much faster. My sense of it is that the Tenergy essentially does the same thing but, has to be done manually, and it takes much longer to balance the cells. SO: I'm willing to spend money to do this right and well but, I wanted to see if anyone with more knowledge had a sense for the advantages gained by spending for the Watchmon. The Mortons reference these two BMS units but, the Watchmon Plus is not available at the time his video was made. I feel I've got a pretty good handle on that so far using Will's videos and also The Mortons. I'm in the early stages of designing my Sprinter build and am working on the electrical designs now initially just trying to get a list of all needed components. Supplies a reliable PPM signal to test and adjust your servo motors.First of all: I've very little but, not zero, knowledge of things electrical. But wait – that's not all! This cell meter can even be used to test movement and adjust your servos via PPM signal!ĭisplays estimated voltages for LiPo / LiFePO4 / Li-ion (2-7 cells) packs and individual cellsĭisplays estimated voltages for NiCd / NiMH batteries for TX and RX (4-7 cells)Ĭheck capacities for Lithium-based packs and indicates if they require charging before useĪt discharge rate of 180mA, can discharge lithium-based battery packs to an adjustable thresholdĭisplays the internal resistance of each individual cell in lithium-based battery packs In addition to allowing you to check the voltage of your batteries and view the capacity and internal resistance of each individual cell in lithium-based packs, this product functions as both a battery discharger and a battery balancer.Įvaluate the health of your battery pack and decide when to discard or replace it, discharge your pack to an adjustable threshold to improve its run time, and balance your batteries to optimize their performance and extend their lifespan. Do you yearn for complete and total mastery of your battery pack situation? Like a mystical amulet in a fanTasy film, the Tenergy 5-in-1 Intelligent Cell Meter takes you one step closer to becoming an all-seeing and all-powerful battery wizard.
