[Mudduck]

Hey guys I just got my new 7t mac and as you all know they dont come with instructions.I emailed paul but I thought i'd ask you guys.My battery has 3 wires coming out of it and my new controller has 2.I didnt have any anderson contector so I just ordered some,had to do it sooner or later.let me know what you guys think.Thanks

I'm interested as well. Hoping to get a 7T from cellman soon. How long did it take you to get it? He must be busy, because it's a few days in between contact with him.

About 4 weeks from getting a hold of paul to shipping..I shipped sal..new tracking system worked really well.didnt have it my first order..

[cal3thousand]

What battery is this? Have you tested the white wire for resistance or voltage to ground?

[Mudduck]

Haven't done any thing yet I don't have the connectors yet so just asking around for now..it hooked up easy with my old not really mxus geared kit.12p3s 39v 6.9 ahr..a123.i was you live in cal you should have a order faster than me,orders come into cal.

Hmmm... well I don't know what that white connector would be, but if you have a Multimeter, you could find out more and decide whether or not you need the connection.

I think it should work if you were to rearrange the locations so you can just plug black to black and red to red (assuming those are following the standard +/- )

Check out the way the red plug faces..really weird.this was the first time I ever saw Anderson's.

Oh.....

Didn't notice that before. Where did you get this battery?

[Mudduck]

From Paul,I ordered a battery and a mxus kit..sold the mxus kit and ordered the Mac.. Battery works great.

I have a Cell Man battery as well. The white connector is the precharge. You connect the black and white connectors first which charges the capacitors in the controller before plugging in the red connector. The white connector is wired inline with a 200 ohm resistor.

Thanks for the reply..I hook the white wire up to the positive wire.theres only 2 wires on my new controller..

[ebikesrfun]

Cell Man should have given you a matching pigtail that you splice with your controller. The pigtail has bare wire on one side for positive and negative and has three matching Anderson connectors on the other side. The resistor is located on this pigtail.

Yes to charge the controller so no spark when you hook up the main red wire. You don't have to leave it hook up but is hot 40 plus volts. Just precharge.

Here is a picture of what paul sent me..and the plug for the controller..

[ebikesrfun]

Seems like you're missing the pigtail with the three Anderson connectors and precharge resistor. Paul should be able to send you one.

[granolaboy]

That's pretty cool that he includes the precharge resistor setup...one more reason to go with cellman

Thanks everyone paul got back to me,got it all figured out.paul sent me a picture how to hook up..Thanks all.
