The battery builders club

Of course! Silly me, after all my time riding with @MichaelWA I should’ve learned by now that silicone is the solution to everything in esk8 :grin:

I forgot to get decent pictures before applying silicone but I was able to align the wires a bit better, they’re now shaped a bit like a ribbon that’s been twisted and covered in silicone. Like this




They come out pretty straight and even now.

I’ll have to reevaluate just how insulated the BMS is after I reassemble and disassemble the foam another 8 times but I’m not planning to use anything faster than a 10a charger on this pack, the BMS is rated to 20a and I’m using 18awg for the charge port. So I think I should be okay unless I’m really packing the BMS in there.

Does the LLT BMS itself have a temp sensor inside the BMS?
There are 2 temp probes coming out of the BMS to be placed on the battery wherever you’re worried about heat being generated, if I want to monitor my BMS temp, do I need to place one of those probes on the BMS?
