looking for ring terminals for 3/8 inch fortune cells and 22 guage bms wires

[scott harris]

I'm trying to connect 22guage bms wires to fortune 3/8 inch terminals. I have some anchor connectors that fit over the battery terminals but the heat shrink is way too big for the wires. I remember will talking about some in a video but I have reviewed about 20 videos and cannot find the reference. Does anyone have a link to something that works well?

These work for me. The heat shrink does shrink with heat, . It is the metal part that matters. These I link will hold on the BMS from overkillsolar

Steel? I don't think high temperature is a problem. I did have to trim the plastic back a bit to fit the buss bar.

Not the first time this issue has come up and I always recommend stripping off twice the amount of insulation you need. Then double the bare wire back on itself and crimp the double thickness wire.

The heat shrink always has shrunk enough with this method in my experience.

Using terminals that fit the awg of the wire I don't have the need to double the wire. I do prefer heat shrink terminals for the extra support given to the wire.
