I purchased a 160A LiFePO4 BMS off the good ole AliExpress to go in my waterproof Pelican case with 4x120Ah LiFePO4 cells. I want a direct 6 gauge connection to a 50A connector on the outside of the box. Unfortunately the bus bar on the negative side has some components on the PCB that are dangerously close to where the lug would end up, they are the same on both top and bottom of the bus so I can't just flip it over. This high amp output will function as both a car battery jump starter and running a trolling motor on my boat, so I do need the 6 gauge and don't want to compromise going smaller. How should I go about this? Run a pair of smaller 10 gauge cables to a larger bus bar and connect to that? Grind down the tip of the lug? Thanks in advance.
