What should i test,look out for?.The chargers are automatic so i Shouldn't have to worry there right?I always watch them while charging and i charge them on a rack in my oven incase of fire i can just close the door.And i have two big fire extinguishers near by.I make sure the cells are balanced...

Ok thanks guys will get a cellog. Ykick,what do you charge with? Circuit,a Bms?..Was under the impression i Don't need it for Lipo,I stop discharging the pack at 44v and all the cells are fine when i looked at them with my charger.

I can check cell voltages with my charger,same thing right?

I finally got my battery order and put them together,but the connectors i bought Wouldn't work so i got deans from the hobby shop.Was nervous about soldering them but it came out great.Happy with the range,no way to tell milage but i was out for a while tonight.I'm running 4 5800mah zippy...

Gonna go with the xt60's from hobbyking,seeing i can buy series and parralel connectors pre made it will make life easier for me.Thanks guys!

Those xt60 certainly look alot more beefy than the andersons.Thanks!

Thanks ordering some 45a contacts now!

Ok thanks guys,guess i will just stick with 12 ga and the pp30's.I'm going to be using a nice set of ratcheting crimpers so the connection should be pretty good.Those pp30's just look so tiny to me lol.Will post some pics when the lipo packs show up so long as i Don't catch them on fire lol.

ok so I'm starting my first project after a couple years of procrastination,need some advise on connectors and wire gauge.BTW i have searched for a few nights and would just like to hear what you guys have to say.I have a Schwinn scooter i bought 4 6s zippy packs for to run it at 50v,the...

Ok the specs for the alarms i got for the 6s packs Don't match up with what you guys are saying here.The alarm would go of at about 3.3v per cell.I'm confused. It is configured to work like this: Blue light shines: 22.2V and up Blue light flash: 22.2v ~ 20.4v Red light shines: 20.4v ~ 19.8v...

Didn't know about the international site,woops. I only got one charger,time for charging Doesn't matter to me. Why would i solder the connectors,should i?

Ok thanks guys i think i have a good idea of how to do this now.Def going to go with 6s packs.

Well for now i was going to use it for a Schwinn stealth 1000 scooter,After that the mid drive from gng.if i burned up a controller or whatever i was just going to upgrade it.Maybe i would be better with two 6s packs.

Thanks,How did you figure that 49 volts.I would like to know the formula incase i decide on two different packs.
