Fly to, Wix email came, but they still don't do anything but ask me endlessly to log in. I went to the Fly to help page and the thing say's not to expect a response cause it's a free service? WTF? Some professionals, guess I'll go about it the old fashion way, and pony up for a real site. At least they helped you out. Glad for that, and sorry to hijack the thread. Looking forward to Saturday, scheduled delivery day for harness. Thanks again for the help.

Update, Thanks to you I now have a website. I gave up on Fly to, and revisited Wix, and got er done! Well it's up anyway.
Cheers. http://www.wix.com/brian_larson/rallystx128hhj

There are issues with arcing and voltage ratings for fuses, etc that can complicate matters. Frankly, I think this might be a product area that you might judiciously avoid. Your current harness business deals with well defined equipment and use parameters whereas the whole fuse issue leaves a great deal out of your control.

If you want to further assist builders in a safe (for you) way, you might just offer series plugs with integral red and/or black 15 inch pigtails so the user can add his own master switch, breaker, fuse, or shunt. This will keep you in the harness business and out of system design.

...just a thought... (play on your strengths - avoid risks with low ROI )

Good practice guidelines call for fuses within 4" of the battery, so would be good if it was incorporated into the harness. But most folks around here apparently don't care about fusing safely. I've had fuses in Lipo harness save me a lot of grief, but it is hard to use them in these high current applications.

One thing might be to offer fuse holder, or fusible link wire with compatible bullet connectors. The pack builder can use them or not. Or use fusible link wire in a specific place in the harness to control which wire melts first.

So far I have ordered 3 harness's from IceCube. I sent the 1st one back so he could use parts off it for my 2nd one.
Attached are pics of my 12s2p harness and the one I use the most 18s4p. So far I have had good luck with my packs
and check to make sure they are balanced every few rides.






Need to do some mods to my controller , but plan on getting a 24s harness in the near future.
Great work bud thanks for helping out my noob self.

I would love to have 5.5 mm bullets everywhere, but that means sending my hubs and controllers out to be converted. Do they make green, yellow, and blue bullets? I have three controlles, and each one has different phase connectors, but they all have the same halls connector. Weird.

If I win, how long do I have to pay for my prize? I can only enter once a week right?

Very nice work and all ICECubeMaN...One thing that (personally) i don't
like with harness like this is the massive jumble of wires it creates.
There is a very neat and inexpensive way to get around this, and something
that might make your 'job' easier and quicker ICEMaN... Still using the bullets...



once its made, a lil hot glue over them, then slip double walled heat shrink over the lot to makez it look 'pro'

You can make small 'bus bar' type setups, i used that 'strip board' to hold the bullets for a
series connection of my 44v 20ah lipo pack on my cruiser. I made a simple jig, drill holes
size of the bullts in a peice of MDF then drilled the same hole pattern in the board and
popped the board on the bullets and soldered them to it...Made for a neat compact
pack without a mess of wires to deal with..



^^^This was the original sent to me by GGoodrum...i simple copied his idea, as you can
see with this adapter, it also has charging plugs...Personally i don't like or use (anymore)
andersons, shits of things IMHO... Anyhoot...te harness combined with paralel adapter boards
ES Member Methods now selling some rippers of these..

Makes for a neater pack IMO, with ALOT less jumble of wires and individual connectors to deal with...



....very easy to connect and disconnect them also...Thought it might be of interest to
your future 'customers' and, maybe something to add to your line?

Keepz up the good work anywayz, ICEDuDez
