E-Bike Battery Active Balancer | Neey Smart Active Balancer | Neey Android Software

I recently upgraded my e-bike battery by adding an external battery balance cable to address the issue of unbalanced cells. To do this, I purchased a Neey active balancer and extra balance cables for my other batteries. I also added PET expandable sleeve to cover the wires and padding to two sides of the battery to protect it from damage.
First, I connected the balance cable to the battery and Neey following the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure all connections were secure. This allowed the battery to communicate with the Neey and balance its cells at anytime needed.
Next, I covered the wires with PET expandable sleeve to protect them from wear and tear. This helps to extend the life of the wires and prevent damage.
Finally, I added padding to two sides of the battery to protect it from impacts and bumps during use. This is a great way to prevent damage to the battery and improve its overall lifespan.
Overall, these upgrades have significantly improved the performance and longevity of my e-bike battery. By adding an external battery balance cable, PET expandable sleeve, and padding to the battery, I can prevent unbalanced cells and keep my battery running smoothly for many more years to come.

Yes I notices that as he got the up dated app that was about 2 years ago the one I have is 3.1 which its say on the download site the old version
My large battery has never full-charged, to the best of my knowledge. Been living with about 1/2 volt down from nominal since I *got* it, both for 90% charge (usual) and 100% charge.

Easy fix once a Neey is installed.
I also added an external balance connector to my packs so I could monitor the state of the pack, and/or use a balance charger. Seems like we are both on the same page with the battery-building process!! I also got these little widgets that show the voltage of each cell, but they aren't very accurate. I just use my multimeter to check each cell voltage.

Got me thinking that many people just trash them thinking the whole pack is bad. On a upcoming video I remove a bad cell group and replace it. This is on my oldest battery. Its about 3.5 years old.
Wow!! I've been looking for a balance charger that would do more than 6s and I was beginning to think they didn't exist. I just built a new pack for my bike (10s6p, 36Vx2). I learned a lot. I also installed a DALY BMS on my new pack. Something I learned right away was that the pack will never be fully charged unless the charging wire (which is normally connected through the bms negative) is connected directly to the pack negative, bypassing the BMS. The BMS has more than a volt and a half drop across it, preventing the charger from fully charging the pack, and the charger will never see the true voltage of the pack itself. The pack now charges fully to it's maximum charged state. The load (output) is still connected to the bms load wire, so output current is still limited by the bms at the rating of the bms current cuttoff, in this case 60 amps (my bike won't ever draw more than 40 amps at full throttle). Hey Glad you're still doin' videos, Erik!! We've chatted before, I'm from Alaska in case you might remember. I enjoyed your bike trip in Arizona a while back, glad you went back to an Ebike!! Keep up the good work!!

Supposedly when using these BMS units, one wants to over-spec them a fair bit, as in the 30 amp ones should be seen as, “if you try to pull thirty amperes from one of these things, even for an instant, it will *Make like Josef Lučas and lose its magic-smoke!”* Note that this is about one step up from hearsay, but being stranded far from home does not sound like fun. When I build a pack from scratch in the future, I plan to use at least a 40 amp BMS for a 30 amp max Load, and that only if I cannot get a *60!*

BMS one thing I yet to overrate. Daly BMS go up to 500 amps. Now wires, motor, and inverters I love to overrate to prevent them from getting hot or having to much voltage loss.

@@Eric_Tennant Yes yes got it ..thanks alot sir .. After hours of checking , I discovered that the first wire is connected untightly!!! So the first and second strings appeared overflow and not successed! Now it is balancing 🤗🤗✅ I thought it was a signal that this string has a high internal resistance and must replaced ( because the alarm said somthing about resistance ) .. may be it can check and give this alarm when anystring is being weak .. I am not sure .. we may get sure in the future .. Thanks alot for your reply sir 🌹🌹
