@Gaslol Test charging and top balancing your 25s battery. ![MVC-006F](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/c/c2f93b918d68ba3d528df412e5c1ff83d9036192.jpeg) ![MVC-007F](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/5/52f9b10ba4621e73c3ab5b40d6c3708c0972e1e4.jpeg) For an extra dollar I can make the balancer a clip-on. Nice if you want to move things around, or pulling one off that was put on backwards. (smoking) 🙂 ---

LOL - either way. I’ll just it to your professional judgement how to best setup. Would hate for one to fall off! I don’t mind turning a wrench to bolt them on. ---

Just a thought. I have 40 of them that I use for testing. When done I’ll box them up. If you don’t take them, I’ll be ready for the next guy. I have the time this weekend. ---

Here are your 5 5s modules. As I mentioned previous, some of the 10s had duds in them. It was taking to long to test them all. Had these 5 modules that were all tested good. ![MVC-009F](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/e/e9fe6ba0466d375711854111ad0cadddc97b0630.jpeg) I fully charged/ top balanced them. Now load testing with a 1kw load. All test ok under load. Will bring them down 20ah or so for shipping. Hot Hot Hot ![MVC-008F](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/0/0a8bedd2cbc195d848298b83d0234ba75b299e4e.jpeg) Notice the inter-connecting bars? I have these and others that will space them 1 battery width to go across frame. Or you can use youe existing cables if clean. Hammer the cable eyes “oval” to fit the small battery studs. ![MVC-010F](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/9/9fa2030a4d42259420049f20c4ca5bf93a162fdc.jpeg) I haven’t sold any in a while, so I’m taking extra time with these to get back in the groove. ---
