Wiring Guide
| Connection | Description |
|---|
| B+ | Positive terminal of cell 3 |
| B1 | Positive terminal of cell 1 (balance wire) |
| B2 | Positive terminal of cell 2 (balance wire) |
| B- | Negative terminal of cell 1 |
| P+ | Positive output/charge input |
| P- | Negative output/charge input |
> Connect in series: Cell 1: B- to B1, Cell 2: B1 to B2, Cell 3: B2 to B+
Use appropriate wire gauge for 20A current
Connect balance wires in strict order: B- then B1 then B2 then B+
Wiring Sequence
- Connect B0 (B-) to battery pack total negative
- Connect B1 to connection between cell 1 positive and cell 2 negative
- Connect B2 to connection between cell 2 positive and cell 3 negative
- Connect B+ to battery pack total positive (cell 3 positive)
Voltage sequence: 0V (B-), 3.7V (B1), 7.4V (B2), 11.1V (B+)
Measure voltage between adjacent points to confirm correct wiring
Incorrect wiring will damage the BMS
How It Works
- *Overcharge Protection*: Disconnects charging when any cell exceeds 4.25V
- *Over-discharge Protection*: Disconnects load when any cell drops below 2.3V
- *Overcurrent Protection*: Disconnects during short circuits or excessive loads
- *Short Circuit Protection*: Rapid response protects against shorts
This is a nonbalancing BMS cells must be well-matched for optimal performance
Use cells from the same batch with similar voltage before assembly
Battery pack without balancing will degrade over time if cells are mismatched
Why Choose This BMS?
Compact 64x20mm size fits tight battery compartments
20A continuous current for drill motors and power tools
Over 10uA low standby current for long battery life
Comprehensive protection ensures safe operation
Same port for charging and discharging
Direct replacement for standard BMS modules
√ Compatible with 18650 and 26650 Li-ion cells
√ Easy installation with clear wiring labels
√ Proven reliability for DIY and professional use
√ Suitable for 12.6V drill motor applications
Safety Precautions
Do not use with LiFePO4 batteries Liion/Li-Po only
Do not exceed 20A continuous discharge
Ensure correct wiring order before connection
Use only with appropriate charger (12.6V)
Keep away from moisture and heat
Use matched cells for optimal performance
For applications exceeding 20A, consider a higher-current BMS model
This nonbalancing version requires cells with similar capacity for longterm reliability
The 3S 20A BMS Protection Board provides reliable battery protection in a compact 64x20x3.4mm package. Designed for drill motors and portable devices, it offers comprehensive protection for your 3series Liion battery packs at an affordable price.
