10awg wires Solder and a solder iron :sweat_smile: Bullet connectors for your motor wires

1668

I already have the 1st 2 things, and top item in my list is the 5.5mm bullet connectors.

1669

Can I have 2 different charging ports on my battery? One 5.5 for 2amp , and an xt60 for 6a fast charging? :thinking::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Or perhaps make an adapter for one port

You need something like this for your phase wires image

I thought thats what those are on top? zoom in. they are labeled as "special bannana connectors on flipskys site, but when you click on them they are 5.5mm bullet connectors.

1672

Why not. Set them up parallel will not affect each other. Or as you said make an adapter but keep in mind to choose the charging wires big enough for the higher amps

Yeah that was my thought. Think I’m going with an adapter to save space. 5.5-xt60

Hall sensors. Whats the neg and pos looking at it from this angle?15370903764591455610835 Is it neg left, pos right and temp on left side from pos wire?

Look on the down side of the vesc. It’s written there. Or you mean on your plug? Looks like you use an adapter from 1.5 to 2.5 jst. Is it right? Than Black should be - and the green one the +

1677

Yeah I can’t flip the vesc but it’s like I thought. Neg from left, pos right side and temp on left side of the pos wire :slight_smile:

It looks good but it comes with 16awg gauge wire. So here’s my question: Does anyone know how many amps the wire can take? I will be running a 12s.

Hey there, just finished making my Battery pack and now i am connecting Everything to my BMS (HCX-D596). Was wondering what Switch I should use, would any switch be good?

1684

Yup, basically anything will do.

I wish I would have found smaller though… large switch is annoying a bit

I for one would like a big ass frankenstein switch that sparks and shoots flames everytime I turn on my board. Just for shits and giggles
