|
|
|
the RPH0002 is a battery pack manufactured by Jinyun Reypu Electronic Technology and used in [OKAI ES400B](https://eu.okai.co/pages/es400b) escooter.

|
|
|
this connector allows the RPH0002 battery to be used a standalone, independently of the escooter.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
plug the connector in either way since it's reversible.
|
|
|
|
toggle the switch to on, and the nearby LED should light up.
|
|
|
|
you are ready to use the battery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
solder thick wires on the BAT+ and BAT- holes to use the battery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
use the DC barrel jack connector (5.0 mm OD, 2.1 mm ID) to charge the battery.
|
|
|
|
the charger should be for a 13S battery pack, up to 54.6V and 5A.
|
|
|
|
the charge LED indicates when the charger is on.
|
|
|
|
it does not indicate when the charging is complete though.
|
|
|
|
for that, use the battery's LCD.
|
|
|
|
when charging, the % should blink, and the charging level displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when the switch is toggled to off, the battery light turns red.
|
|
|
|
this clear after 10 minutes.

|
|
|
the output current is limited to 1 A.
|
|
|
|
over that, the Battery Management System (BMS) with turn off the output after 5 seconds.
|
|
|
|
the output will be turned back on after 1 minute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to fully activate the battery, you need to send specific CAN messages.
|
|
|
|
I header to the CAN port is available on the board.

mode of operation

=================

|
|
|
the 14 slots on the bottom of the battery are for tab plugs, up to 1.5 mm thick, 6.5 mm wide, and 15 mm high.
|
2023-05-29 11:44:23 +02:00
|
|
|
these are pretty unusual though.
|
|
|
|
in a pinch, US plug lugs fit pretty well.
|
|
|
|
the closest PCB tabs I found are 0.8 mm thick (very usual), 6.35 mm wide (common), and 11.97 mm high (quite high).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the signal of the tab is written next to it on the back.
|
|
|
|
each signal appears twice because the connector is reversible.
|
2023-06-11 19:20:30 +02:00
|
|
|
this prevents any issue when the battery is mounted the other way around in the escooter, even if there is only one way to lock it in.
|
2023-05-29 11:44:23 +02:00
|
|
|
it also allows to have redundant connections, and increases the contact surface, allowing for letting more current to run through.
|
|
|
|
the two signals are interconnected in the battery, and is this connector.
|
|
|
|
|
2023-06-11 19:20:30 +02:00
|
|
|
for the battery to turn on, the output needs to the constantly connected to the sense signal.
|
2023-05-29 11:44:23 +02:00
|
|
|
this is what the switch does.
|
2023-06-11 19:20:30 +02:00
|
|
|
to turn it off, just leave the sense signal floating.
|
2023-05-29 11:44:23 +02:00
|
|
|
when the sense signal is connected to ground, the output will reset periodically and the battery light will blink red.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the battery also has a CAN interface.
|
|
|
|
it will ACK any input message.
|
|
|
|
it will output messages when charging, but their format is unknown yet.
