I can take more if you need me to
looks the same as mine. The black cable is the charge port and the others seem like power. I don’t think that one has the built in switch

weird power cables though

That’s normal, the black one that’s different is for the included charge port and the other two are power cable that I just cut off and soldered and xt90 on.

Yeah I agree with @Bordboy
So get a 5.5 x 2.1mm charge port and a plug if your charger doesn’t have one and don’t forget a fuse on one side of the board-mounted jack.
For a charge indicator, I prefer leaving them off the board and using one of these things or your phone.

Be ultra careful if you do this. Work on only one wire at a time, and completely tape the other one with a not-electrical-tape so there aren’t any accidents. Completely finish red before you start on black et cetera
Only solder on XT90 and XT60 while male and female are plugged together, so have a few more than you need to use.

Hello amigo,
That chrge ports you linked are rated 30v 5a, are they suitable for charging a 12s 50,4 battery?
Im strugeling here with my charger and charge ports. I ordered a charger with an xlr port and is to wide for the thicknes of my enclosure, so i have to return it…
Thank you
This is the charge port I swapped in. Rated for 10A

But still 30v
Yes those are all fine. The current rating is far more important than the voltage rating in this use case.
Get the ones @Mikenopolis showed
Put a 7.5A fuse on it

I’ve been too lazy do the other board. But seeing that Dave uses them on his builds and there’s been no fire I’m not in a hurry to swap it. Just going to charge with the 2A charger for now

fuse holder?
I JB Weld or silicone the fuse to the inside of the enclosure or on top of the internal loopkey jack, or somewhere and just solder to it
