BMSOne Plug and Play

In Stock Now

This is the Plug-and-Play version of Madhacker's BMSOne. It can be used to plug a common off the shelf 4S battery (XT-60) into a 3DR Solo and have battery telemetry as the Solo normally would.

As the JB/BMSOne itself is a PnP device there are some things to consider before making your purchase. The BMSOne can be programmed for Lipo or Li-ion batteries. The units are otherwise the same and can be reprogrammed following the instructions here. Please consider the following:

1. To use with Li-ion batteries YOU MUST CHANGE Arducopter BATT PARAMETERS as the Li-ion packs that the BMSOne is configured to has different output characteristics. Refer to the Parameter Setup tutorial at the end of this document to guide you through the parameter update procedure.
UPDATE: There is a package available in Solex that can make the necessary changes for you. There is also a package to change it back to default settings for Lipo use.

2. To use with Lipo batteries like the Tattu 4S 5200mAh 35C there are NO PARAMETER CHANGES REQUIRED. Just make sure the battery you use has similar characteristics. If parameter changes were previously made for Li-ion packs you must change them back before using Lipo again.

3. It is HIGHLY recommended that you use an aftermarket battery charger to recharge and maintain your batteries. The JB/BMSOne can be used with the OEM Solo charger but will NOT provide balance charge or storage discharge, and extra care must be taken not to plug the Solo charger in wrong which can result in a fire.

4. Always unplug both connectors of the battery from the BMSOne completely when not in use.
