Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

Plug it in, DO NOT TOUCH THE WIRES TOGETHER,
(well, first, use a voltmeter to measure a battery you know the polarity of (in case you have the measuring wires swapped) positive voltage with red wire on + means it’s the right way around)
Measure wires with voltmeter either way. -50.4v will mean you have + on the negative terminal of the charger. 50.4v will mean your red measuring wire is on the + of the charger. Label that and follow the same arrangement all the way to the battery cables.
Do note that it is common to route + on the interior of the dc jack

can you send a picture of the back

Got it, I will test now

make sure the + and - are well isolated when soldering the connector, don’t forget the shrink, and make sure one solder joint is covered before you do the other

Hello, 2 part question please (with full understanding that the pandemic is ongoing and we want friends to be safe):

  1. Does anyone know if Subsonic Skateboards is doing business right now, no reply for ~3 weeks from info@subsonicskateboards.com & custom@subsonicskateboards.com.
  1. When is Surf-Rodz shipping (ordered 3 weeks ago, no tracking yet)?

Thank you.

Was almost done with my build for the twelfth time and ran into trouble. While putting the enclosure on I twisted the sensor wires around. I have an extension I made that came undone. What is the best way to get JST-PH male connectors on there and have them actually stay?

8mm bearings. 6001 bearing number.
