Yes if I build a pack a put an extra insulator. But the manufacturer has a paper or ? Under the shrink wrap. We like to use an extra for insurance.
Glad you followed up and open up your pack and found out that they were 18650. Instead of what they were supposed to send you. A 35amp controller should work.
I think the leaf 1,500 kit has a 35amp controller. My controllers hit 40amp then settle down. But depends on the manufacturer and if you have a 60 amp controller and take your C.A. and turn it down to 35 amps. Like a Lyen 60 amp turned down to 35amp will pull close to 35amps a yesconm 1,500 kit with 35a controller Wil hit 35amp and ramp down. After first full throttle.
So controllers are like 21700 cells there are all different profiles.
I'm really glad you have the. To take apart a brand new battery and find out what's inside. Good job my boy.
I had a $1,200 custom made 72v 24ah Samsung 40t 20s6p and only gave me 19ah , he repaired it and after sending it back. I broke my collarbone and couldn't test the pack and it was too long after that two years later I opened it up and the six cells he replaced he soldered them in with solder wick a no no.
The name is bicycle motor works the guy who made the pack was Matt Buzra.
He has a nice girlfriend or wife but he's a jerk of the East Coast variety.
