3S 40A 12.6V Lithium Battery Protection Board with Balance Function – 3S 40A BMS Module

The 3S 40A Balanced Version BMS (Battery Management System) is a specialized module designed to safeguard and manage 3-cell lithium battery packs, including 18650, 26650, and Li-Po types. Each cell carries a nominal voltage of 3.7V. This BMS module features a balance function that ensures equal voltage levels across all cells, thereby extending battery lifespan and promoting safer operation.With a capacity for a continuous discharge current of up to 40A, this BMS module is perfect for high-drain applications such as electric drills and power tools that require a starting current below 80A and power under 170W. The module's built-in auto-recovery function guarantees that the system resets automatically after overcharge, over-discharge, or overcurrent events.

⚠️ Important: For optimal performance and safe operation, only use this BMS module with matched cells of similar capacity and internal resistance. Standard low-drain 18650 cells for power tools are not suitable.

⚙️ Precautions:

• Use only high-rate discharge batteries (15C-20C or higher).
• Avoid mixing old and new or low-quality batteries.
• Ensure proper connection of 0V, 4.2V, 8.4V, 12.6V terminals.
• Mild heating of the “430” resistor during charging is normal and indicates balancing.
