Yes…I just started the process. Thanks for the pic! Where do I get that BMS from? Thanks, Jeffrey 8189160787 call or text; text is best. ---

Hi Inwo if use Gem standard charger and switch off charger with bms24 and relay which charge profile are best for lithium,flooded or gel ? thanks ---

How many cells? Won’t make much difference. ---

If this had the right connectors it would be an easier install than SSR. The charger relocation is working so far but I want to add something to prevent a run away charger. I’ll probably keep adding bandaids to my DQ til it dies because the guys that go to a different brand lose the BDI. ---

I has the right connections. It needs the same current limit resistor as ssr. You can make your own by cutting the black wire in a short extension cord. Or the black wire between charger and hood.
