Get that wire outside of the shrink asap
They are all passive, same as your bms
All are dumping energy in to heat not transferring to other p groups
? what’s wrong with it?
If the insulation gets puncured you will have a huge short

Oh, you mean take the wire out of the PVC shrink. Yeah that could help a bit I suppose. There’s more insulation than in that picture though. That pack is due for a checkup soon actually, been a few months, I’ll see how well the current insulation inside is doing.

I just use it external and take care According to specs it IS active since it uses the supercapacitor for transferring power from one cell to another.

Maybe a dumb question, but I got some fishpaper from amazon and it’s not adhesive…should I be looking for adhesive fish paper specifically? Or is there some sort of glue that we all use on this stuff?

There are a few adhesive options on Amazon. Some of them aren’t super strong adhesive, so I just use a bit of kapton tape on the edges to stop peeling.

Good morning guys. I need some help in putting together a 10s4p pack. I put to get here a few lipo pack b4 but never a 18650 pack. Here is my question. I am putting on the balance cable to my 3d printed pack and I want to put balance #1 cable at the positive tab is that okay. I read that I need to put balance #1 cable between P 1, P2 the connection. It’s the same right ? Pls refer to the picture.
It depends on the BMS, most will ask for #1 to be positive, #2 to be P1-P2, etc. So for a 10s pack, you will end up with 11 wires. Positive + Negative + 9 in between. Not all BMS, I would look on the schematics of the BMS you are using to see which balance connections it asks for.
