I agree with Andy. Original Amass XT30/60/90 connectors can handle a lot of current. The knockoffs are somewhat more hit-or-miss.
How can one tell a real Amass vs a knockoff?

How do we not have a Smart BMS thread yet? I have so many questions about mine that the search function can not answer. Is anyone who is better at making/managing a thread than I am willing to kick it off?
@wandagoner I dont know if you have any experience with these BMS’s, but I have been really impressed with threads you have done before, think you could help us battery micromanagers out? @glyphiks same to you.

It just started raining here @Arzamenable… hope its dry on the other side of the tracks there.
In other news, I’m testing out this nickel… how much salt do I put? … Nevermind, I’ll just make it salty as f@ck.
and we got @Bobby’s smart BMS working now, I gotta say, being able to check individual cell voltages is money money money

Ya know you could test it faster by blowing a weld through the nickel lol. Take one strip and weld it high power in the air. If it blows a hole with no sparks its nickel. The more sparks the more steel is in it

One quick step (not 100% guaranteed but super easy) is to look at them. The Amass ones say Amass on them, and the knockoffs often don’t.
The Amass ones also have thicker, stiffer, more yellow housings, with more glass fiber. The knockoffs are often slightly paler and more flexible.

I may as well try and juggle while riding a uni-cycle one legged all the while drinking a margarita…
