also changed the fuse to 100A - this is the 80ah ADD ON for the bounder -
Do you find it better to make long cables than short ones?
Is there any advantage?
Any better than buss bars?
Mine take the shortest route.

You don't want short straight links Terry, they need to be loke expresso's . So if cells move slightly when hitting bump is doesn't loosen the or strain the terminal connections.
On vibrating machinery you never terminate with straight cable, you always put a helix in the cable.

Nw you know why C rate and resistance matters!
Are you wearing out faster than the battery yet?

CCS stopped responding at the 8th hour , so you only see the last 4 hrs of the discharge .

Clearly that device is unsuitable, but I do wish someone could find a cell balancing board that would: (1) start balance only near or at the end of CV, (2) dissipate or exchange enough current to balance reasonably quickly (would 3A be enough?).

Don’t think this is a BMS, but balancing circuits... any chance you could take a look for an opinion?
Also Shirley can you help me with A TaoBao purchase please?
