| Li-ion battery pack wont charge |

| drummerdimitri:
I just finished assembling a Li-ion battery pack to be used for a powerbank project and although I was able to draw power from it, it doesn't seem to want to take any charge. I am using a 3S BMS (3S6P pack) and my guess is that it is damaged. How can I test the BMS to make sure it's causing this issue? |

How do you charge it? A BMS is generally not a charging circuit, only for protection. |

That board is for protection only - it does not control the charging itself. You have to use the normal CC/CV/cut-off charging. In your case constant current until it reaches 12.6V, then constant voltage until it reaches 10% of the starting current. If you feed it with more than 13.05V (4.35*3) then the over-voltage protection will kick in. |

It's a standard Vmax limiter .. all they are saying is - whether you are charging or discharging, the limiter is active. For that price, I'd be surprised if the FETs or Transistors were genuine. |
