Beware I woke up to the burning smell of plastic. These are the connectors that are provided with the Apexium DIY box. I asked for the name of the manufacturer and a spec sheet but neither company can provide any information, Please beware of the knock off connectors!
Ouch... Any idea how many amps the inverter was pulling when that happened?
How long ago did you contact them?... It bothers me that these boxes have no breakers or "hard shut-off" other than having faith in the bms to never fail.

Yes, saw on the build sheet its a 400 amp fuse plate, but in situations like this one might want a lower amp breaker, or at least a quick way to DEFINITELY cut the power besides relying on the soft keys to shut down the BMS... Seeing some EEL models that have a nice physical DC breaker that has that comforting satisfaction when you flip it off.
The crimp looks good, Everyone is trying to put fault on the crimp. Please look at the pictures of a new connector! The force required to crimp the wires was used. Some people think that if I was just tug on the wire it would fall out. This is not the case.
