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

The 3S 40A Balanced Version BMS (Battery Management System) is designed to protect and manage 3-cell lithium battery packs with nominal voltages of 3.7V per cell (including 18650, 26650, and Li-Po types). This version supports balanced charging, helping maintain equal voltage levels across all cells, thus prolonging battery life and ensuring safer operation.

With a continuous discharge current of up to 40A, it is ideal for high-drain applications such as electric drills and power tools that require a starting current below 80A and power under 170W. The built-in auto-recovery function ensures the module resets automatically after overcharge, over-discharge, or overcurrent events.

⚠️ Important: Only use with matched cells of similar capacity and internal resistance to ensure optimal performance and safe operation. Do not use with standard low-drain 18650 cells for power tools.

⚙️ 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.
