I have a Golden Motor 48V 10Ah pack that I need to do a 50/50 or a 60/40 split which ever is the best fit.
I have seen the Guide to Split Packs Appendix found in the Ping Battery Wiring Guide http://www.pingbattery.com/content/wiringguide.pdf and it looks similar to what I would like to accomplish.
Here's a look at what's inside my pack... http://www.goldenmotor.ca/FAQ/questions.php?questionid=11
Please correct me if I'm wrong, in order to perform this split it looks like I would need to split the large black neg (-) discharge wire that goes from the key switch to the BMS, replace the appropriate copper bus bar with a wire, split the small red positive (+) charging wire that goes from the charging port to the BMS and split half of the smallest red BMS sense wires.
This pack has a key (power) switch, will this provide some protection against shorting when performing these operations? What other precautions need to be taken? Is there an ideal order I should split /disconnect the wires? And connect the wires? Should I follow the order given in the guide?
Is it possible to make the connection between the 2 packs with a single multipin socket? Can you recommend some connectors?
Any other recommendations?
Thanks,
Myron
