I appreciate that. And, that “clear and tested” wiring diagram was exactly what I was seeking. I do understand about the current draw and how the BMS handles it. My quandary comes from the fact that people using the exact same battery set up do not have that problem even in more hilly places. I didn’t think this up on my own. I watched A lot of YouTube videos and read a lot about Lithium batteries. I get a lot of mixed options here, mostly stated as fact, that all cannot be correct. I haven’t looked inside any of those packaged battery packs, but I don’t think they are putting 500A BMSs in them. There is something in the settings that is my problem. My BMS is rated for 200A continuous and 350 Peak. I do recognize that potential danger if the by pass, but I also see it used by people that are involved in expensive products and by professionals. The one place I got the idea from was a guy, who is an electrical engineer, that was on one of the golf cart chat sites. He’s gone and the whole site is in mourning bc he was so helpful and knowledgeable. He posted a thread where he built a lithium pack like mine, 48v, for his Club Car, like mine, nut used a cheap Chinese 30A BMS. Here is what he posted. I don’t know enough of electronics to safely try to build one from this. He listed all of the parts and stuff on the tread. I’m a visual learner. I need to see it.
I appreciate your comments and advice and with no condemnation. I may have gotten my settings worked out. Hopefully, I can text it today. I’ve been struggling with getting the battery box tied down on the cart. I’ve got that done, but need to hook it all back up.
Thank you, Joe
