looking for latching switch for a d596 bms
i got one but i dont trust it and i cant be bothered making a loopkey

All latching switches are bad, m’kay?

i have heard however d596 only takes latching and i cannot be bother soldering a loopkey today
also run a latching for well over 1000km but never had any issues

The failure rate of a latching switch is far greater than momentary switch because of how they work, but that doesn’t mean u can’t have a working switch down the line. Its just more likely to fail over time.

I always treat loopkey as failsafe, a switch is still more convenient, but still not as convenient as standby mode :joy:

not literal but i am still in the process of soldering some copper wire to bullets and have never doen anything so painful in my life
any tips?

use pliers or a wrench to hold them down.

I use a pipe wrench with a rubber band on the handle for constant pressure. I do the same for xt60,90, mr60,30 etc

yeah soldering bullets is fine
issue is that soldering to copper wire is so painful
its litterally impossible

Do the same, get small pliers and hold the wire. It’s a bit tricky sometimes but doesn’t burn you

@Halbj613 you’re a sucker for pain. Be a man. Take the soldering iron and place it on your palm at fourhundo.
