The BMS showed up today. Nice surprise, I thought it would take longer.
Nothing else in the box, just the BMS. It’s somewhat obvious how I will need to connect everything but I would’ve liked a manual or some sort of diagram/pinout for this particular model.
Let me see if I got this right:
- “C-” will be the charge port negative connection
- “B-” battery pack main negative lead
- Main pack negative lead will also go to the VESC (bypassing the BMS)
- Main positive pack lead will connect to the leftmost wire (red) on the wide connector with 13 wires on the BMS.
- Main positive pack lead will also go to the VESC
- Another main positive pack lead will go to the charge port.
Does this make sense?
Not sure about the loopkey. I found that some say to put it on the negative lead and some on the positive. Does it matter?
I can’t find any reference on what the red/black pair marked on the top left of the BMS pic are. Any ideas?
