Lets make a Victron JK BMS Connection
To configure your JK BMS battery to work with Victron Cerbo
You will need a Victron VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS cable.
For JK BMS inverter type you will need the Type B cable
Victron Part Number is ASS030720018 – VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type B Cable 1.8m
Other batteries may require the Type A cable, and Ive even heard reports that the A cable has worked for some users. It is also possible to make your own.
The pinouts for Type B are
Function | Victron VE.Can side | Battery side |
---|---|---|
GND | Pin 3 | Pin 2 |
CAN-L | Pin 8 | Pin 5 |
CAN-H | Pin 7 | Pin 4 |
Setting your BMS to use the Victron Protocol
Here we are logged into the JK BMS App over Bluetooth.
Click settings > Enter Admin Password (Default 123456) > Click Advanced Settings > Scroll Down
Touch the CAN Protocol No : 0 in the example Video > Change it to Victron > Press ok to save
That is the BMS configured for Victron CAN BUS
