Been re-reading battery threads and noticed something in the Expresso addon thread about being one big battery, does this apply if mixing 8s7p 15amp main pack with 4s8p 12amp addon on pack. What I'm asking is it ok to mix 15 amp and 12amp together.
Cheers Paul

i do my other chair that way since i have the same thing - 105ah inside the chair and the ADD ON 30ah outside - when i get home - i disconnect the Cable that is connected to the ADD ON going to the Chair Pack - then its two packs - disconnected from each other -
i have a few PL8s - i use one to charge the ADD ON on its own - and connect the other one to charge the Chair Main pack on its own also - - When the Charge is done on both packs - i then reconnect the Cable that connects both packs together as ONE Pack - and ready to use again -
you can't charge both packs when connected together - they need to be charged disconnected from eachother -

Oh. Sorry . Slip through my eyes .
8S7P pack cannot work with a 4S8P pack , no matter what capacity they have .

Honestly thats like asking a vet which is the front and rear of your dog.
Find a competant person before yours hurts himself or you. If he cant tell just by a quick glance at the cables, and he can, then just test with a volt meter. The two that show 24 or 25 volts are it...

I think it would never fail if it was soldered + wrapped by an adhesive heatshrink tube. garriew, try to break an terminal that you have soldered to see how solid it is. You might need professional tools to break it
