Any luck with the batteries today? I know the agent was looking for another carrier. Can I run the B- of my BMS, 10awg to the negative of the controller? The negative lug on the controller is the end of the battery string…if that makes sense. ---

Shipping company needed labels on the pallet so I did that for them. Don’t know much else. That should work same as at battery B-. ---

That’s what I figured. Let’s keepmour fingers crossed for tomorrow. My box is finished up. Had to put a 120v dc to dc converter for my cooling fan. No where to run a constant 12v with the key off. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/d/df6408ff2b03db07a0c41da73056908cf17cc6ce.jpeg) ---

Good morning Dave, I’m hoping those batteries were picked up. I haven’t heard anything from my friend saying they weren’t. Let me know! Was laying in bed last night thinking…my downfall…do I have to take any precautions with my dc to dc converter being that I’m running a higher voltage? ---

I’ll check later. Most converters work over a wide range of voltages. The main contactor coil may run hot. A current limit resistor can fix that. Shipper: _ **Catherine Wright** _ D&L Transport MC # 512088 OFFICE: 615-292-8000 FAX: 615-292-8030 CELL: 615-945-9294 ---

They will take whatever you give them. For testing, I charge to 3.5v@ 10a ending at 1 amp. 10% 12 or 14a are ok. Charger will limit to 1500w. Gels, I have no idea. ---

Not their final resting place, still need to do some fitting, but good for reference. I’ll clean up this chain soon so you can make it public. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/0/0bd05d44e0e36a99f5a51e6ee9c49927890a11f1.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/1/1870f90a86eea5716b195ae64c45493fbd8e0ad2.jpeg) ---

Out of a 2014, you said a while back that it was fine. We are going with 28 cells. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/d/d3ec3326fd3b613174c17de9beaf4ecca96d523b.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/f/f7c961f24617e52a86f5c75edf2cc531e6357df4.jpeg) ---

Yes, dqd\* is fine. 177 is 98.5 volts. 3.52v/cell ---

Looks like I nuked two resistors. Any thoughts? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/4/424a7e54d14d5701cd3e9ba97164870647a09b8f.jpeg) ---

No idea. What happened? You didn’t change the balance current by chance? ---

No, just plugged it in, left the bms settings as they came. Did a sanity check to make sure voltage went up from pin to pin, not that I skipped or missed one. Plugged it all in, flipped main on the car and it released the smoke. Do you have another one? I got the resisters off but it cooked some of the board. I don’t think I can fix it. ---

I may have one. Are you running load current through it? How many cells? ---

Load was not hooked up, charge only. The only thing that was not ordinary was B- went to the negative on the controller instead of battery one directly.
