First Step

  • Make sure all the batteries are at the same voltage and same capacity
  • Now put one by one into the battery holder
  • Now use Kapton tape to tape it all

Kapton Tape - it is used to avoid the heat basically it is a heat resistance tape

Second Step

  • Now cut down the Nikkle plated strip tape at right length "See the image"
  • First, make a pair of 2 parallel battery as shown in the picture
  • and then connect all the 4 pair in series
  • This connection is called 4S 2P
  • You can also see the connection diagram above

4S - Stands for 4 Series

2P - Stands for 2 Parallel

  • Now use a multimeter to measure the battery voltage now I got a reading of 16.49V it may differ from mine reading is totally depends upon the charge of the battery
  • Now use Kapton tape to cover the back side of the BMS with several layers
  • Now use a double-sided tape to stick the BMS to the Battery

  • I love to use XT60 everywhere
  • Now I used the special holder to hold the XT60
  • And used some 14AWG silicone wire and soldered on the XT60
  • Now used some heat-shrink tube to secure the connection

  • Now I soldered the XT60 wire to the BMS
  • And now used a multimeter to see the battery pack is working
  • It's done
