@Peter That's my understanding as well, and my set up.
Just noticed that in the House Batt (REC-BMS Q Series BMS) Parameters page, "Reqests Charing always shows "No" even when the WS-500 is charging the battery and the volatge is lower. Is this...
I can't seem to figure out how to remove the inverter and AC loads icons from my DC only engine alternator system. I'm sure I'm missings some setting somewhere. Anyone else figure this out w...
The WS-500 2.6.1-January f/w seems to be the ticket
I'm using 3 as well. Everything seems to be working. Thanks!
Reach out to matthew@dragonflyenergy.com for the latest firmware update. That way, you will get the latest version, which I believe is the January build.
I've updated to the 2.6.1 January build and can now see field drive on my Cerbo.
Based upon this from the manual, I think that I should use option "3."
On a LiFePO4 battery system that incorporates a Cerbo GX, Wakespeed WS-500 and the REC-BMS which Alternate CAN / BMS protocol are people using?
- Cerbo GX running latest sw - WS-500 running f/w 2.6.0 - WS-500 charging at 153 amps, but field drive reporting shows "0%" - Does anyone know if this is a WS-500 or Cerbo GX issue? - I h...
The question in this thread does not match the thread title... What is the correct value to use for LiFePO4 cells??? @Ben recommneds 1.0, but I believe that I've seen othe...
I used Rick's cheat sheet along with recommendations from Ben.
@Rick Admin , As I am considering my options and reviewing the 2Q details, I also need to ensure that they are compatiable with my WakeSpeed WS-500 regulators and will work seemlessly with the Cer...
Hi Rick, Thanks so much for your quick response! I thought I’d post this in the forum here, just in case others have similar questions. I’ll definitely take a look at the ...
@Richard Thanks! I am reviewing the video. Great suggestion.
Hello all, Any news on a SW update for the Q-BMS devices? I have a 9M managing two Q-BMS 4P8S house batteries. I also have a single Q-BMS for my propulsion engine start battery. I am ...
for what it's worth, I replaced my switch with a bigger one that is mounted in a watertight box and labeled the hell out of it.
You may want to DM Rick Bell, the owner for sw/firmware update issues. Send an email to the ogm support email address. support@ogm-energy.com Please report back what you learn. I too have a 9M con...
This is good feedback. Thanks! I will login and see if the fast ramp is/is not disabled.
The good support folks at Dragonfly have sent me the 2.6.1 sw version to try. How has it been working for others?
Hello All, I am just seeing this thread. Is there support for the REC Q BMS and the REC Master? I have a REC Master managing two REC Q BMS units for my house battery. And another REC Q for my main...
@Rick Thanks for this info. I thought that I had mis-configured something. Is the workaround to use the WS-500 with DVCC turned off until 2.6.1 is released?
@Jonny I've been away from my boat for a few months, but am about to get into settling in my Wakespeed 500-Victron-REC-BMS configurations and set up. I will collect as much data that I can a...
Hello All, What charging precedence strategy are you using with your REC-BMS-controlled-Victron-Energy-LiFePO4 marine battery system? I have Multiplus-IIs, Wakespeed WS-500, MPPT solar char...
I would like to access my REC Wifi module on my boat. I have Starlink and have been told that there because of how Starlink assigns IP addresses using CGNAT that I will need to use some other techn...
@nworker becasue there is no real time clock (RTC) on the Q Series, my graphs simply show an incrementing integer sequence along the X-axis.
Can someone explain how the passive balancing alogrithm works on the the REC Q BMS. When you reach the balancing start voltage, in this example 3.45v, does the REC balance one cell at a time by dra...
@Ben I've done some additonal reading and in your experience should the BMIN BVOL values be the same for active vs. passive balancing? Perhpas I am thinking about this the wrong way,...
@Rance Thanks very much for your reply. My set is working pretty well, but I am still working through some issues. Sometimes the field strength bounces between 0 and 2%, when it should be charging...
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?
