Battery & BMS compatibility
PowerView works with batteries that use a JBD / Xiaoxiang Bluetooth BMS. Check yours below — or confirm it in 60 seconds with the app test.
✅ The 60-second compatibility test
Install the free Xiaoxiang or Overkill Solar app and scan for your battery over Bluetooth. If it shows live per-cell voltages, current and state of charge, your battery speaks the JBD protocol and works with PowerView. This is the surest check — brands change their BMS between batches.
| Brand | Model | Battery | BMS | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ampere Time / LiTime | Older units (pre-proprietary, ~2023 and earlier) | 12V / 24V | JBD | 🟢 Compatible | Early Ampere Time/LiTime used JBD that works with Overkill. Newer LiTime does NOT (see below). source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| CHINS | 12V 200Ah (150A) and similar | 12V · 200Ah | JBD DP04S007 | 🟢 Compatible | JBD on many packs; CHINS has used different BMS across batches, so verify in the app. source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| DIY pack (JBD / Overkill Solar / Gobel Power BMS) | Any JBD Smart BMS with Bluetooth | 12-72V | JBD / Jiabaida / Xiaoxiang | 🟢 Compatible | Native JBD protocol over BLE. The reference target PowerView was built against. Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| Eco-Worthy | 12.8V 100Ah / 150Ah 'metal' smart | 12V · 100-150Ah | JBD DPO4S007 | 🟢 Compatible | Smaller packs use JBD; Overkill/Xiaoxiang connect. Larger 280Ah units differ (see below). source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| Redodo | Bluetooth 12V / 24V series | 12V / 24V | JBD-based | 🟢 Compatible | Ships its own app but exposes the JBD BLE protocol; community ESPHome/Overkill monitors confirm it. source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| Vatrer | 12V / 24V / 48V Bluetooth (incl. self-heating) | 12V / 24V / 48V | JBD / Xiaoxiang | 🟢 Compatible | Manufacturer guide directs owners to the Xiaoxiang app — JBD protocol. source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| Eco-Worthy | 12V 280Ah (recent batches) | 12V · 280Ah | JBD (not always accessible) | 🟠 Depends on model/batch | Recent 280Ah units reported not reachable by the Overkill/JBD app despite JBD hardware. source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| LiTime (current) | Newer Bluetooth packs | 12V / 24V / 48V | Proprietary | 🟠 Depends on model/batch | Newer LiTime moved to a proprietary BMS + app that does not expose JBD. Many current units will NOT work — check the app first. source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| Power Queen | Bluetooth packs | 12V / 24V | Proprietary / varies | 🟠 Depends on model/batch | LiTime sister brand with its own app; JBD exposure is inconsistent. Verify in the Xiaoxiang/Overkill app. source Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| ExpertPower | Bluetooth packs | 12V | Unknown | ⚪ Unverified | Protocol unconfirmed — owner reports welcome. Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| Timeusb | Bluetooth packs | 12V | Unknown | ⚪ Unverified | Protocol unconfirmed — owner reports welcome. Checked: 2026-06-15 |
| Weize | Smart Bluetooth packs | 12V / 24V / 48V | Unknown | ⚪ Unverified | Protocol unconfirmed — owner reports welcome. Checked: 2026-06-15 |
