⚙️ Key Features That Set the PB Series Apart

✅ Active Balancing – Keep Every Cell in Sync

The PB Series uses active cell balancing to transfer energy from higher-voltage cells to lower-voltage ones in real time. This ensures:

  • Longer battery life – consistent cell voltage reduces stress and degradation

  • Higher usable capacity – no cell is left undercharged or overcharged

  • Faster balancing – with 1A or 2A balancing current, your pack stays balanced even under heavy use

✅ High Continuous Current – Power Your System with Confidence

Whether you need 100A, 150A, 200A, or 300A continuous charge/discharge current,there's a PB Series model built for your load requirements. All models support the same charge and discharge current rating for simplified system design.

✅ Parallel Connection – Expand Your Storage Capacity

The PB Series includes an integrated 10A current limiting module for parallel battery pack configurations. This allows you to connect multiple battery packs in parallel safely and efficiently, scaling your storage capacity without compromising safety.

✅ Smart Communication – Monitor and Control from Anywhere

Each PB Series BMS comes equipped with:

  • Bluetooth – real-time monitoring via the JIKONG BMS app (Android & iOS)

  • RS485 – for PC-based monitoring and parameter configuration

  • CAN bus – direct communication with popular inverters like Growatt, Deye, and Victron

  • UART – for firmware updates and diagnostic access

✅ V19 Firmware – The Latest Technology

All PB Series models shipped after June 1, 2025 come with V19 firmware pre-installed, delivering improved balancing algorithms, faster communication, and enhanced system stability.


🏠 Perfect for Residential Energy Storage

The PB Series is purpose-built for household and residential energy storage applications. Whether you're pairing it with solar panels, an off-grid inverter, or a whole-home backup system, these BMS units provide the intelligence and reliability you need.

Common use cases include:

  • Solar + battery storage – manage charge/discharge cycles efficiently

  • Off-grid cabins and RVs – reliable power in remote locations

  • Backup power systems – peace of mind during grid outages

  • DIY battery builds – flexible configurations for custom projects


📦 What's Included

Each PB Series BMS includes:

  • The BMS main unit with active balancing circuitry

  • Built-in Bluetooth module

  • Temperature sensors for overheat protection

  • Communication ports (RS485, CAN, UART)

  • Integrated 10A parallel current limiting module for safe multi-pack setups


🛡️ Built-In Protection for Peace of Mind

The PB Series doesn't just balance—it protects. Key safety features include:

  • Over-voltage and under-voltage protection for each cell

  • Over-current protection during charge and discharge

  • Short circuit protection

  • Temperature monitoring from -40°C to 125°C

  • Low standby power consumption (<2mA) for energy efficiency


🔧 Easy Integration with Popular Inverters

The PB Series is compatible with a wide range of inverter brands, including Growatt, Deye, Victron, and more. With CAN and RS485 communication, integration is straightforward—just connect, configure, and monitor.
