3. Setup and Installation
The JBD-LCD03 display is designed for easy and fast installation due to its small form factor. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on the device.
Wiring Diagram:

Connector J1 Pinout:
- J1-1: Positive voltage of the display power supply (8-90V)
- J1-2: TXD / RS485-A (Communication line)
- J1-3: RXD / RS485-B (Communication line)
- J1-4: Negative terminal of the display (Note: Cannot be connected to the negative terminal of the battery output.)
Ensure correct polarity and secure connections to prevent damage to the display or the BMS.
4. Operation
The JBD-LCD03 provides clear, real-time information about your battery pack. The display features a power button for control and various indicators for battery status.
Power Button Functionality:
- To Start: Press the manual button.
- Automatic Screen Off: The screen will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
- Enter Sleep Mode: Long press the power button for 2 seconds.
- Exiting Sleep Mode: The display will automatically exit sleep mode if current is detected. You can also press the power button to wake it up.
Display Content:

The display shows:
- Status Indicator: Shows current operational status (e.g., STBY for standby).
- Data Display Area: Real-time values for Voltage (VOL), Current (CUR), and Temperature (TEMP).
- Protection Status Indicator: Indicates active protection states.
- SOC (State of Charge) Show: Displays battery percentage.
- Graphical SOC Instruction: Battery icon divided into 4 segments, each representing 25% power.
- Red segment: 0-25% power
- Yellow segment: 26-50% power
- Green segments: 51-100% power

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your JBD-LCD03 display, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the display screen and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate and store the display within the specified temperature ranges (-20°C to +70°C for operation, -30°C to +80°C for storage) to prevent damage.
- Connection Integrity: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
- Avoid Physical Impact: Protect the display from drops or strong impacts, which can cause internal or external damage.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JBD-LCD03 display, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display does not turn on | No power supply or incorrect wiring. | Check the power supply voltage (6-15V/DC) and ensure J1-1 and J1-4 are correctly connected to the power source. |
| No data displayed / Incorrect readings | Communication error with BMS or incorrect wiring of communication lines. | Verify that J1-2 (TXD/RS485-A) and J1-3 (RXD/RS485-B) are correctly connected to the BMS communication ports. Ensure the BMS is powered on and functioning. |
| Display shows "Abnormal Alarm" | Battery protection event triggered (e.g., overcurrent, overcharge, overdischarge, high/low temperature). | Check the battery pack and BMS for the specific fault indicated. Address the underlying issue (e.g., reduce load, balance cells, allow battery to cool/warm). |
| Display enters sleep mode unexpectedly | No current detected for 1-2 minutes. | This is normal behavior. The display will wake up automatically when current is detected or by pressing the power button. |

7. User Tips
- BMS Compatibility: The Simple UART and RS485 LCD Display is designed to support JBD Smart BMS for 3-30S battery configurations. Ensure your BMS is compatible for proper functionality.
- Application: This LCD display is primarily used as a battery accessory for lithium battery systems, providing essential monitoring data.
- Communication Type: When ordering, specify whether you need the UART or RS485 version, as the display module cannot be switched between them after manufacturing.
