Nowa Days it has been very easy to order PCBs and it doesn't cost you much, Yeah you easily do this in a Perf Board but the PCB Looks way better then Perf Board and Very Safe to Work So You can Put little work and money to get Professional Results

For This Project, I've used PCBGOGO Service for Manufacturing my PCB and it took about 24 Hours to Manufacture my PCBs and within 7 Days they Delivered it to my door Steps

And the Quality is Just Amazing

Soldering

I Gathered all the components and first I soldered the 18650 battery holder to the PCB Board

I used some Kapton tape for isolating the BMS Board from the Main Board and then I used some double sided tape to stick on the back side of BMS Board

And then I piled off the protecting layer from the double sided tape and then I align the BMS Board to the Main Board and then I pressed the both Board to get stick properly

  • I soldered 2 XT30 to the Board
  • After all that done, I used some thick exposed wire to jump all the BMS connections
  • And soldered the wire

Stands Off

After all the components soldered, I used 4 stands off to give it some clearance

Before Plugging the Batteries

Before Plugging the Batteries

  • Make sure all the batteries are at the same voltage and same capacity
  • To do that I used my 18650 battery charger to fully charge the batteries, by this I'm sure all the batteries are at 4.2 Volts
  • Now put one by one into the battery holder
