Philipp, It looks like 14ga wire has .00297 ohms per foot. The 2 battery wires measure 1 foot each for 2 feet total. 2 times .00297 ohms/ft is .00594 ohms...
Philipp, Yes, ABF have chargers and their construction looks very solid and professional. I have not taken one apart but might do in the future. It has a red...

Hi, Is it allowed to connect batterypacks with BMS in serial? May be the FET's are not calculated to switch off 44.4V instead of 14.8 V? Philipp ... ...

Hello Philipp, I believe the BMS should only ever see the voltage across its terminals, no? So it will not see the entire pack voltage even if in a series...
Hello All There is no problem in connecting battery packs with PCM (or BMS) systems in serial IF the whole pack is functioning well. The FET if well rated...

David and others - the battery BMS system may remove itself from the charging current when the cells reach full charge and since you are charging with much...
