2x 5S zippy 8ah packs, i removed the ridiculous 8awg wire, and installed 12awg, then bridged the packs to make them 10S
They did not include the 11 pin balance lead connectors, so i made my own with RC plugs, and bridged in the 10 cells from + to - to 11 pins.
I also pigtailed 2 sets of wires for monitoring cell voltages, cutoff etc for testing..
Tech specs for the TI chip

Also no instructions from the vendor, i emailed and asked but i expect it will be a few days before the sales rep gets back to me from their " engineer " so figured i'd try here in the mean time...
I started by connecting the balance leads, then the Batt - , all was good up to this point,.. then hooked up Batt + and got smoke....
anyone spot the not ?
