Wiring, Low voltage connector~
A replacement LV connector can be purchased from AliExpress. aliexpress
Detailed LV connector C144 pin description
For communication only:
- Pin 1 to 12V constant (BMS+)
- Pin 6 to 12V constant
- Pin 26 to GND for 12V
- Pin 15 or 21 to CAN-L on Battery-Emulator
- Pin 16 or 22 to CAN-H on Battery-Emulator
For communication AND contactors:
- Pin 1 to 12V constant (BMS+)
- Pin 5 to 12V constant
- Pin 6 to 12V constant
- Pin 8 to 12V constant (Closing battery contractors)
- Pin 25 to GND for 12V
- Pin 26 to GND for 12V
- Pin 15 or 21 to CAN-L on Battery-Emulator
- Pin 16 or 22 to CAN-H on Battery-Emulator
Tip: use pin 15 and 16 for CAN Communication. Use pin 21 and 22 to add a 120Ω terminating resistor
Battery uses 1.4 amps to run the 12v 1mm2 cable should be enough.
Note: The battery does NOT contain a terminating resistor, so it is a good idea to add a 120 Ohm resistor between CAN-L and CAN-H on the battery side.
