Keep looking. Don’t throw out any packing. Lots of filler. Must be inside some Styrofoam or box in a ziplock bag. I never learn. Should take a picture, as I forget exactly where it is. ---

Okay I will go through everything tomorrow. Yes lots of packing so I obviously overlooked it. You did a great job packing it all up by the way. ---

My new boxes weren’t in yet. I was going to cut those down, but thought it would be a good place to dump all my peanuts. 🙂 ---

Found them, of course they where at the very bottom of the trash can. Been working on my house but hopefully later today I can start putting it together. ---

I hope your going 24 cell on this. I didn’t read the entire thread. But your gonna be super happy with the 24 High Voltage gem. What year is your car and what controller do you have? ---

Yes, but he’s doing the work. Splitting each 16s into P-8s. 8+8+8=24 He also must solder balance leads similar to how you did the Bolt. Hope you can help him out. My E4/Bolt just went south. ☹ (Actually south, on a trailer) ---

Grant it’s a 2002 Ford Think with a GE D2 controller and from what I’ve heard it is the same as a Gem T2 controller. I bought the D&D motor and 14" rims with 21" tall tires so I’m hoping I can get decent performance and mileage out of this set up. Definitely going with 24 cell. Hoping you can give some guidance on wiring up the BMS. If I measured right the packs should fit perfectly without any mods, I’ll soon find out. ---
