The fuse block arrived today so I made connections for the 20S2P battery packs and for feeding power back into the main power buss. I connected all +V wires together via an 8mm bullet connector. It was a tight fit to get 7 14awg wires in there, but it's a lot more compact than a screw terminal block and can handle 200 amps or more. Since it worked so well I did the ground wires the same way. I used 8mm long connectors. Coming out the the other side is 2 8awg wires to an XT90 connector. I should probably use bullet connectors and 8 awg wire, but I forgot I didn't have but 10awg wire so there's no point. I really don't think I need 8awg back there anyway. At 1C with 3000mah cells that's a total of 36 amps with 6 20S2P packs. At 5C that's 180 amps. There's no way, I'll ever pull current that hard. I used 10amp fuses in the fuse block or a total of 70 amps which is possibly what I would likely use as a maximum amount of current. Tomorrow I'll build the battery box.
