    You could run fuses but at that level of current you should probably run a circuit breaker. Our kart has a marine grade circuit breaker from Blue Sea Systems iirc. It works well doing duty as a master off switch in addition to current overload protection.

    Running Lithium Battery Packs in Parallel?

    Advantage of pulling 200A from two 100A packs is that you pull less current through each set of packs so wiring gauge/connector size/BMS rating, etc doesn't have to be so beefy/$$ because each set only pulls half the load (at least until you get to that last connector before the motor...

    Running Lithium Battery Packs in Parallel?

    We run two 48v Li-ion battery packs in parallel on my son's electric conversion kart. They are repurposed computer server 13s4p packs made with 18650 cells, 13s8p when together (~12.8AH total capacity). Both packs were identical in terms of cells, BMS, construction, age, etc. Each pack has it's...

    Controller Diagram

    I recently purchased a 2kw system from Vevor that essentially uses the same controller (motor controller model BY15WF-02-A but looks identical to yours posted above). I used a combination of 48v brushless controller diagrams found on internet, YouTube videos and my own multimeter testing to map...
