Guys, thanks for all of the help. I have been moving my settings to match the recommended values from this thread. I have one question regarding float voltages. While away from my boat, I ha...
Was the data file sent over to Al at Wakespeed. I'm have similar issues.
@Trond I have same set up except I am a REC Q BMS. Two shunts. The one on th3 battery is a VE Smart Shunr on the battery negative and a dumb shunt on the positive Alt wire. Has anyone found a...
@Rick " You also have a large hysteris but that will only allow it to work under large imbalance condtions." Because of the need to use 4/0 wires on cell #6 to allow me to "fold" the batteries to ...
@Rick this is indeed good news. Any idea on the timing?
Hi Rick, thanks for the response. Here is a screenshot of the 9m SW/HW. I've checked the website and unless I am missing something, do not see any newer firmware. It will great to be able to see wh...
@Ben I've looked across all of the documentation and tried to use WCIB? but the command is not recognized in the manual command line.
Hello, I have been using my REC-BMS setup with the following settings for the past month. Some of the settings that my electrical engineer designer has specified are different than what I've seen i...
@Ben is this PDF available? I do not see an enclosures in this thread. Is this because the forum was moved to a new platform? I am working through this thread to understand what is happening, but i...
30 days of data. Does anyone have an idea why my CCL and CVL values are moving around when charging my batteries?
I am finishing the install of my house battery system and will begin testing the various charging and discharging use-cases, including the bow thruster. I do not want the REC-BMS to shut down when...
I was hoping that some of the more experienced members on this forum can guide me on how to set/manage the REC-BMS settings for Dischange and Charge Current limits. I've tried comphrhending ...
I was hoping that someone could explain how the REC-BMS logging screen works on the WiFi module. For exmaple, if the logging interval is set to 10 minutes, does that mean that it records a new data...
@Bill this is from Al Thomason, Chief Engineer on the WS500. Upon seeing the forum thread that I sent to him, he replied... ---- Fun! We never added an external USB socket for two reason...
Questions: The pdf diagram you sent does not show any shunts I assume that I will install one 1000 Amp shunt on Batt "A" and Batt "B" negative cables? Where does the Wakespeed WS500 current se...
hmm... Does matter that I am using the 1Q units as slaves and NOT the 2Q's? If I understand correctly, I only need a shunt for each battery. In my case I need two 1,000A shunts as each battery co...
QQ (quick question) How many shunts do I use for a 2 batt system using (1) REC 9M master and (2) REC Slave units? From this diagram, each battery has it's own shunt. This makes sense. Do I also u...
HI Rick, I will try those values and see what I get.
@Richard the current reading on my REC-BMS is reading about 1/3 of the value that it should when compared to a high quality Fluke clamp meter. I am using these coefficients that you provided a whil...
@Rick I'd love to see an update to this post!
Here is a WS500 pinout diagram that I grabbed from this forum and annotatwed it with a cross-reference to the numbering used in the user install manual. Let me know if you find any typos.
I pulled the WS500 pinout dirgram from another post on the site and have added in the cross-reference to the harness wire numbers used in the install manual. If you find any typos, let me know and ...
It looks like Victron has changed links again. Victron Cerbo GX <--> Wakespeed WS500
I would pay $$ for such a guide. Especially if there was someone that was keeping it up to date. I know that this forum is a great source of info, but the "forum" format makes it hard to pull out j...
I have read all of the available and sometimes conflicting documentation re how to set up, and configure the WS500 <--> Cerbo GX <--> REC-BMS set up. It is like I am panning for ...

Can I connect my (3) REC-BMS+Wakespeeds WS500 to a single CERBO GX or do I need one for each battery system. My setup will be have three LiFePO4 battery systems: 1. 12v generator start batt...
I'm brand new to this and still learning. So far, I've accepted the default settings to make sure everything is working. I am using CALB 230 Ah cells.
I was hoping that someone can point me to the place in the manual that talks about the SOC being set to 100%? I just fired up a 1Q for the first time and recall reading but not sure where, the 100%...
