Got it working. Thanks for all the help. I was able to find an old pc plug that I cut one end off and wired to the controller. Seems to work fine, it say 125v 10amp on it compared to the yes com kit that said 250 v. Hope that is okay.

Yes. I think you're right. It does read from the prongs though. The one that you squared that is damaged still seems to work, but the female receiver from the yes com kit I think is the problem. Where the battery positive was connected incorrectly to the female negative yescom adapter looks...

Yes. Still learning this stuff. Read 40-42v on DC setting. The battery is a 36v 20ah. Looked at my yescom plug a little closer and I think the positive internal part is fried. Will need to get another.

Thanks the pic of them is with them now reversed. New problem is that the battery is reading 90 at the prongs whether the switch is on or off. However the ends of the cables provide no reading on the yescom cable.

I bought one. Just figuring out how to use it now. I have determined the yescom and vpower connectors are backwards. Negative to positive. Can I just switch the blue and brown cables that plug to the red black on the controller. The battery is showing about 90 on the multimeter, hope that is normal.

Thought I would edit my last post as it was not to clear. So its become pretty obvious that the yescom USA plug and the vpower battery plug receiver do match up positive/negatives. I have attached a pic of the yescom plug w the label end cap (red positive) on top of the BMS that came w the...

Thanks I'll take a look at the BMS it did sound like something was loose. Regarding the plug, can you give me some tips on replacing with the Anderson power pole. I guess I would cut the yes com wire plug off and add those there and then cut the battery wires and put them on there. Does that...

Thanks. I'm going to grab a voltmeter today to check the battery polarity. R3volved are u using your battery w a yescom kit? Did you need to change the plug polarity?

I was just thinking, do they make a female to female adapter that would switch the polarity so it correctly matches the battery and yescom plugs?

Thanks Dan, does that just pop out? And what would I need to buy to replace it? Assuming it will need to be replaced along with the plug if the polarity is off.

Thanks, I read some more and looked at the plugs. It looks like the positive and negative on the yescom kit plug do not match the vpower battery. I made the assumption they would, given there is only one way to plug the cable in. When I plugged it in I got a pretty large spark and some smoke...

So I finally got my battery from vpower and I went to plug it in to my yescom kit and got a nice surprise..... sparks! Im trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, I plugged the yescom plug in the only way it would match to the battery. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks D8veh! Think I got it on the right way. I will check to make sure as soon as my battery arrives. It shipped out by sea June 1st, hoping it gets here soon.
