For some reason Orion's support is pretty bad and they barely reply to emails so here I am
I am about to wire the balance wires of a 168S battery (split to 12 units of 14S modules) to the 180S (first version (black color)) Orion BMS.
Here is an example of 3 units of 4S module connection:
On the left is a conventional wiring diagram where 3 modules of 4S are connected in series and the last wire of each module is joined with the first wire of the next module since they share the same connection.
On the right is an option that will eliminate the option for false voltage reading due to the serial connection of the modules having current flow through them which will throw off the voltage reading in the balance wires.
That way my 168S pack will occupy all of the 180 channels of the BMS.
My question is if the option on the right is doable with the version of BMS I have or with Orion altogether?
I don't wanna rewire 180 wires all over again to a tiny amphenol connector pins or even worse, damage the BMS.
Any help would be appreciated
