I have a battery, 10s2p, but no way to charge it. It doesn’t have one of those red connectors that some other companies use, so I’d like to just get a charge port I can put on my board. Also I need an actual charge brick itself too.
They send a charge port with the battery when you get it . It is hard to see and you don’t know it is there. I almost threw mine away. Plugs right into that connector.
I certainly didn’t get one… looked through all the boxes. But also I got the 10s4p battery which had completely different plugs than the 10s8p that a friend of mine received.
Do you have a multimeter?
The charge /discharge connectors will be shorted out on one of the nodes.
Set your dmm to measure DC Volts and see if any of the connectors have 0v across it. (very steady and not moving) if the reading is moving that’s most likely an open.
My guess is that the 3rd connector (the automotive pair) is the soft on/off switch (the website indicates this battery has a on/off switch
This is what you need to make for the charge port.
AFAIK the white wires can be soldered together if your esc has a switch. if you want to use it, hardware stores will have the on/off switches that can accept that connector
The white wires are for an SPST non-momentary low-current switch for controlling the BMS output. Closed = Output (XT60) On
The charge port is the weird connector. Do NOT accidentally short this out while checking polarity with a multimeter. You can solder these to a charge port and a fuse. I had one extra but already promised it to @Bordboy
Brian, so if you cut the wires short and solder and heath shrink them, it’s just like any battery pack then right? Metro told me they ran out of switches. I don’t see a reason to even have that switch using a Unity
