Ugh. False modesty. Nauseous now. (And envious.)

That looks super clean. Nicely done. :+1:

What exactly are you doing though? You have two separate 6S packs that youā€™re going to wire up in series before connecting to VESC? Why? Do you plan to charge with balance chargers?

Edit: On a second look, thatā€™s actually 6S and 7S. What the heck?

My balance charger will only do 12s. So i need to split the pack for 13s.

I see. Charging will get annoying over time. Iā€™ve been there. Wouldnā€™t it be better to use a 13S BMS instead? With a BMS, you would need less wiring and fewer connections, which may save enough space to fit the BMS (a small, charge-only one; maybe the Neptune would be good).

Until there is a tiny, functional and affordable charge-only bms on the market, I will persist with balance charging.

And even if there was such a unicorn, I would probably still stick with balance charging.

Sure, itā€™s a lot more work, and I have to put in one more plug when I charge, but I trust it. I canā€™t say the same for any on board bms.

I have seen even the neptune fail.

Thatā€™s a valid approach. The FlexiBMS is very promising. Iā€™ve been testing one for a couple of months and have done dozens of charges on it. It worked flawlessly. Also, Simo is setting up some serious QC procedures. Itā€™s only 12S though, unfortunately.

The flexi is promising. I have one of the prototypes sitting here, but have been very much put off by the idea of st links and flashing and all that shit. Its all way over my head. I have seen and appreciated all the hard work you have put into it tho :+1:

Balance charging is working really well for me, and I really donā€™t mind putting in the extra work and wiring for the peace of mind it provides.
