    Capacity test.

    Will P shows himself getting the results of a capacity test on his computer. I have the same overkill bms that he's using for it. How does he get that on his computer? I can't find capacity testing on the stuff I downloaded for the bms.

    Battery connection.

    I'm wanting to connect my 16s48v 280ah pack like this. My problem is the buss bars sent don't work that way. I've searched threads and see plating copper. I'd rather not do that. My question is would it hurt to just make a short wire with connectors for this. Say 4ga size?

    Very first top balance

    This is my first ever top balance. Does it appear right? I set the voltage to 3.65 but when I connected it dropped to 3.55. If I'm correct I'll be waiting till the bottom number reaches 0? Amps are turned up all the way. I'm new so your input will not be ignored! I may not take it but I'll...
