Idiot's guide to a self build battery
Re: Idiot's guide to a self build battery
I have ordered two jk-pb2a16s-15p BMSs. The manual is quite light on info. Until I get all my batteries I want to drive it at very close to the 150A. There appear to be two M6 bolts for each input and output. I am assuming when running at max current I will need to use both bolts but haven't been able to find any info. Would splitting my 50mm cable in to two 25mm cables using lugs via a post like the image below would be acceptable? ie. 50mm cable to post with lug. Then two 25mm cables from post to the BMS.
Re: Idiot's guide to a self build battery
That's basically what I did with my JK B2A20S20P, as it comes with 2 cables per side already.
