5. Opsætning og installation
Careful installation is crucial for the proper functioning and safety of the BMS. Follow these steps precisely:
- Initial Connection Precaution: It is strictly forbidden to insert the balance wires into the BMS before connecting the main battery terminals (B-). Ensure the main negative battery cable (B-) is securely connected first.
- Balance Wire Soldering: Make sure all balance cables are correctly soldered to their respective battery cell positive terminals.
- Sequence of Connecting Balance Wires:
- Start from the thin black balance wire (B0 or B-) which connects to the main negative terminal of the battery pack.
- Connect the second wire (thin red wire, B1) to the positive terminal of the first battery cell.
- Continue connecting each subsequent balance wire to the positive terminal of the next cell in series, in ascending order (B2, B3, ..., B14), until the last positive terminal (B+) of the battery pack is connected.
- Voltage Verification (Crucial Step): Do not insert the balance plug directly after connecting the cables. First, measure the voltage between each two adjacent metal terminals on the back of the balance plug.
- For ternary polymer batteries, the voltage between adjacent terminals should be between 3.0V and 4.2V.
- For iron-lithium (LiFePO4) batteries, the voltage skal være mellem 2.0V og 3.6V.
- Voltage between adjacent terminals should be approximately 1.5V to 2.75V for other cell types, depending on their nominal voltage.
- Balance Plug Insertion: After confirming that the wiring sequence and voltages of all balance cables are correct, carefully insert the balance plug into the corresponding socket on the protection board.
Attention: Cables from different manufacturers are not universally compatible. Always use the matching cables provided with your BMS or verified compatible replacements.
- Final Voltage Tjek: After the wiring is completed, measure the voltage between battery B+ and B-, and the voltage between B- and C-. If these voltages are equal, the protection board is working normally and can be used. If they are not equal, recheck all wiring connections.

6. Betjening
Once correctly installed, the BMS operates automatically to protect your battery pack. It continuously monitors cell voltages, strømme og temperaturer.
- Opladning: Connect your charger to the C+ and C- terminals. The BMS will manage the charging process, including cell balancing and overcharge protection.
- Afladning: Connect your load (e.g., ESK8 motor, electric scooter motor) to the P+ and P- terminals. The BMS will monitor discharge current and cell voltages to prevent over-discharge and overcurrent conditions.
- Aktivering af beskyttelse: If any parameter exceeds its safe limit (e.g., overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, over-temperature), the BMS will temporarily disconnect the battery from the charger or load to prevent damage. It will automatically resume operation once conditions return to safe levels.
7. Vedligeholdelse
The FLIPSKY BMS is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and reliable performance:
- Visuel inspektion: Periodically inspect the BMS and all wiring for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Renhed: Keep the BMS free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Temperaturstyring: Ensure the BMS and battery pack are operated within their specified temperature ranges. Good airflow around the unit is beneficial, especially during high current draw. The aluminum alloy shell aids in heat dissipation.

8. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your BMS or battery pack, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Ingen strømudgang:
- Check all main power connections (B-, P-, C-) for secure contact and correct polarity.
- Verify the balance wire connections are correct and the plug is fully seated.
- Mål individuelle cellevolumenertages. If any cell is significantly out of balance or below its minimum voltage, the BMS may have activated under-voltage beskyttelse.
- Check for short circuits in the load or wiring.
- Opladningsproblemer:
- Ensure the charger is functioning correctly and provides the correct voltage.
- Verify the C+ and C- connections.
- Check for overcharge protection activation if cells are already full.
- Overophedning af BMS:
- Reduce the load current if possible.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the BMS.
- Verify that the BMS is rated for your application's continuous and peak current draw.
- Ubalancerede celler:
- Sørg for, at alle balanceledninger er korrekt tilsluttet og har god kontakt.
- Allow the battery pack to sit connected to the BMS for an extended period (e.g., overnight) to allow passive balancing to occur.
If problems persist after troubleshooting, contact FLIPSKY customer support for further assistance.
