Should it be momentary or latching switch?
Edit: I found @mmaner post suggesting that it is latching one.

So is it an okay idea to just Solder these wires together and then use a antispark switch elsewhere? Or should an antispark switch be used to connect the wires?
It’s not a good idea to solder the E-switch wires together because the E-switch also serves as a reset switch when the bms goes into protection mode. There is no need for an antispark switch with this bms
Question, putting everything together right now, but how do you turn the BMS on/off? I understand that the wires must be together during both charging and discharging, but so you disconnect them during storage?
I didn’t realise this, I bought an anti-spark switch so now it’s just lying around for my next build.
I use a latching push button switch with external LEDs (https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/rolling-fortress-lacroix-prototipo-dual-focbox-6374-diy-mbs-geared-drive-12s4p/59021)
Use a latching on/off switch connected to the 2 white wires.
Your board looks amazing! Nice job👍
So the e-switch wire from bms are not +/- , just connect them to the switch that has 2 pin, just like that?
yes you are correct
Also, any 12v automotive switch will work as long as it is not a momentary switch.
A toggle switch will work and a Latching push button switch will work.
Is it an anti-spark of sorts of would it be advisable to solder those two wires together and put an anti-spark in the build?
I think this will work, it’s waterproof, but the size…
Where is it i can buy that switch?
Hi wonder if anybody can help me.
Trying to work out where on the Bestech 10S BMS i wire the eswitch,
Is it the connectors next to B- labelled D4, D5 or somewhere else.
There are two white wires that go from there check the image:
If they are joined it is ON. Just use whatever switch you would like.
So the 2 white wires that are attached to the heat sink, i plugged the thing in and it seems to be on, so i need to detach them and link them to a switch?
Using a multimeter you can see if current travels between B- and C- or P- and verify that those wires are indeed the switch. Just use a JST plug and put a on/off switch.
I think that 2wires goes to temperature sensor which is attached to the heatsink. He need to find another switch wires.
I have the exact same BMS and on mine the two wires come from the heatsink and go down that hole and out the side as this picture:
Yea that one.
