Our old lineup of JBD BMSs is now out of production. Rather than adapting to a new JBD design, we are finishing our new BMS design ASAP.
JBD has new models available, but we have rejected all of their offerings for various reasons, mostly due to the complete lack of security on their built-in bluetooth connection.
The new BMS is named The Pathfinder BMS by Overkill Solar. It is entirely designed in America by Overkill Solar, and programmed mostly in Canada. We will be doing final assembly, programming, calibrating, and testing here in Naples, FL. The components are sourced globally.
Here are the physical dimensions of The Pathfinder BMS:
This sounds exciting. Users will be very interested in interfacing with Solar Assistant. Hopefully this will be considered early on. Thank you for your products the JBD BMS units. They really filled a need that I had. There were drawbacks with them one of which was only a single data port which meant some extra work on my part allowing me to switch back and forth from Bluetooth to Solar Assistant.. Workable but would have been better with Bluetooth built in AND the data port also. Hopefully your new addition can take these ideas into account.
I purchased six of your LiFePo4 cells and eagerly awaiting for your new Pathfinder BMS.
Is there a waiting list for documentation and pre-sale?
