Wiring Guide
| Connection | Description |
|---|
| B+ (Battery Positive) | Positive terminal of cell 4 |
| B1 | Positive terminal of cell 1 (balance wire) |
| B2 | Positive terminal of cell 2 (balance wire) |
| B3 | Positive terminal of cell 3 (balance wire) |
| B- (Battery Negative) | Negative terminal of cell 1 |
| P+ (Load/Charger Positive) | Positive output/charge input |
| P- (Load/Charger Negative) | Negative output/charge input |
> Connect in series: Cell 1: B- to B1, Cell 2: B1 to B2, Cell 3: B2 to B3, Cell 4: B3 to B+
Use appropriate gauge wire for 40A current (minimum 8-10 AWG)
Connect balance wires in strict order: B- then B1 then B2 then B3 then B+
How It Works
The 4S 40A BMS protects your battery pack through multiple mechanisms:
- *Overcharge Protection*: Detects when any cell exceeds 4.25-4.35V and disconnects charging
- *Overdischarge Protection*: Disconnects the load when any cell drops below 2.33.0V to prevent cell damage
- *Overcurrent Protection*: Monitors current flow and disconnects during short circuits or excessive loads
- *Cell Balancing*: Equalizes cell voltages during charging to maintain pack health and maximize capacity
- *Auto Recovery*: After a fault condition is resolved, the BMS automatically reconnects the circuit
The BMS uses passive balancing discharges highervoltage cells through resistors to match lower-voltage cells
For optimal performance, use matched cells with similar internal resistance and capacity
The board will not function if balance wires are connected incorrectly - follow wiring order carefully
Installation Tips
- *Cell Matching*: Use cells from the same batch with similar voltage before assembly
- *Balance First*: Connect all balance wires in correct order before connecting main leads
- *Awaken BMS*: After wiring, connect a charger to activate the BMS before first use
- *Heat Management*: For continuous high-current operation, ensure adequate cooling and airflow
- *Wire Gauge*: Use thick wires for main power connections to handle 40A current
Before assembly, ensure all cells have similar voltage (within 0.1V) for optimal balancing
Mount the BMS on a flat, non-conductive surface away from heat sources
Improper wiring can damage the BMS and connected batteries

Safety Precautions
Do not use with LiFePO4 batteries only Liion/LiPo (3.63.7V per cell)
Do not exceed 40A continuous discharge current
Ensure correct polarity and wiring order
Keep away from moisture and flammable materials
Use only with appropriate charger (16.8-18.1V for 4S)
Do not short circuit output terminals
Ensure adequate ventilation for heat dissipation
The BMS should be mounted in a protected area away from physical damage
For applications exceeding 40A continuous, consider a higher-current BMS model
