Yes it very much matters. You also need a fuse in that connection

oohh can you tell me more about that?? how do I do that/what is the purpose & what happens if I don’t use a fuse?
Yes it does
Put one of these on the negative wire

So the charge port jack negative goes to the fuse, then the black JST wire goes to the other side of the fuse
The fuse’s job is to destroy itself if there is a problem – before your battery or anything else destroy themselves

Hey, I started on an Evolve and until it broke recently, still took it out occasionally. If I did it all over I’d start with Metroboard then do DIY while riding that

If you go hydro dip, wear gloves. It took me 20 minutes with mechanics soap to wash it off

How are you going to get it off your ring? You better let a jeweler do that

I know right…
Sure. but i paid my evolve for 1200 euros and it was quasi new so that is how it got me into diy so i am happy to that i bought it. But very pissed off that i am spending hours to try and fix it.
That may have been the best tip i have ever heard.

You want a fuse rated a little higher than the current output of your charger, and a higher voltage than the battery at full charge - if you have a 4A charger, 5-6A fuse. 10A charger, 12-15A fuse, etc.
The one Brian posted is perfect.
If you don’t have a fuse, then if you or someone/something else causes a short between the pin and ring of the charge socket on your board, the full battery current will flow through that short, causing smoke, fire, sparks and mayhem.
With a fuse, there will be a little spark, maybe a small pop and your charger won’t charge the board until you replace the blown fuse. No drama, no fire.
Use a fuse.

This exact thing has saved my boards before. You can even ride the board one more time before you fix it
