making mistakes so you don't have to...
Perhaps "stupid comment" but can't you just use the holes in the BMS to attach the new wire with M4 bolt and nut?
Sure, soldering beats any lug.
Depending on wattage of the soldering iron and the experience of the person wielding it..
(Too low wattage (and mass of the tip) will heat up the entire board and not just melt the solder)
A lug and bolt/nut might be the easiest way.
Seeing "quick fix" solution like this...
Really bad.
For Chinese companies it's more "normal" as they don't have to follow safety regulations.
BB is American company, yes?
I don't know about customer protection in the USA, in Europe a factory can write what ever they want, but still need to follow the EU law.
That means a washing machine factory might say one year warranty, but it's expected lifetime makes 3 or 5 years more reasonable.
Hard drives have 3 years, CD players, 3 years etc.
It doesn't matter what the factory likes, it still needs to live up to expectated lifetime.
As they made 10 year warranty, any court in EU would set minimal 5 year warranty.
Unless it's sold and bought as "B choice, at own risk" clearly described in the description of the product.
