anthonyevs reacted to BritishRacingGreen in BMS communication with Axpert MAX@anthonyevs found @Coulomb notes, i think it may be invaluable to you. He has actually reversed engineered both hardware and software. He is serious guru, our most valuable human resource, if i may.!

anthonyevs reacted to BritishRacingGreen in BMS communication with Axpert MAXHi @anthonyevs ok i dont have soltaro battery bur i do have experience with canbus of livolyek. While there are some indications from members that these two come from the same stable and share protocol, i have some doubts about that. @Coulombhad partially reversed engineer the solaro protocol (SOL) and from what i see the canbus identifiers are different to livoltek to start with. Below is an extract from one of his responses on this thtead ;

can do better now. Colleagues and I have confirmed that an Axpert MAX (which has a similar, perhaps identical removable display to the Axpert MKS III: removable display firmware version 12.11) on battery type SOL speaks CAN bus at 500 kbps with the protocol I documented (at least for the CAN IDs 0x1872 and 0x1874). It's not finished yet, but we demonstrated setting the SOC to 100%, warning 61 goes away, the battery icon flashes, etc. We could not demonstrate WEC protocol, as the BMS could not easily be set to 100 kbps.

I will have to search for his forum notes and provide link for you.

anthonyevs reacted to Coulomb in New Voltronic VM-IV and MKS-IVExisting firmware already has support for CAN comms to battery BMSs, in the WEC (Weco) and SOL (Soltaro) battery types, as far as I know. I've not heard of anyone using them though.
Are there more battery types now that use CAN comms?
The RGB thing just seems silly to me. Marketing gone mad.
