so me got to thinking about the best ways to go about a water resistant connection for my 26S battery pack. Then I came across some ip67 aviation connectors with 16 pins , any more than 16 pins and the actual pins became to small. Small pins are not what I want to charge at 5 amps. Aim is to always charge through the balance leads and have a balanced pack. BMS is a long story....
So my cells are loaded into some square downpipe which runs along my bottom bar, 26s keeps the pack to the 5kw power peak I'm after and gives me around the half kWh I'm after. A light pack to keep the bike nimble.
As u can see pins are pretty thick and my wires are also 10amp rated, not sure on pin ratings for these so keeping at 5 amp max
Nice dust caps and water resistant
[
I decided to have the charge ports up nice and high away from water splash. Overall happy with the setup.
Learning to solder the pins was interesting with some fu#}^{ moments , but got there in the case end, I hot glued the pins after soldering to waterproof and held hold the wires I'd one came loose.
