Jk Baterry Modbus Modbus Register 4772: Balance Current

Technical Definition

The register Balance Current at address 4772 is used to monitor balance current on the Jk Baterry Modbus.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S WORD
• Unit: mA
• Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read Balance Current (Address: 4772)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4772, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "Balance Current"
  address: 4772
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "mA"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Current flow to or from battery in Amperes (A). Positive for charging, negative for discharging.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates no charge/discharge. Check system load, charger status, or battery health.
