okay, so this is my first build and I was hoping somebody could help me wiring the balance cables to my BMS. I bought the following components:
4x Lipo battery’s from hobbyking (5s 4Ah) which i wired to 10S2P
1x 36V 10S BMS 80A
my problem I’m stuck with is wiring the balance cables to the bms. correct me if i’m wrong but what I thought is also wiring the balance cables parallel as show in the picture
hey, Thanks for your reply. i’ve seen the topic before and have read it carefully but most of the topic is about series configured batteries, but i couldn’t find anything about how to link the balancing wires when you’re using a parallel configuration:(
Your diagram is too incomplete to tell if it’s right or wrong.
And by putting batteries in series first and then in parallel, your making it much easier to have a mistake.
Put your batteries in parallel first and then connect the parallel groups in series.
