Noob replacing BMS question C-

[rudivb]

Hi sorry this might be a dumb question, but I'm very careful dealing with a battery and components.
I bought a new (bluetooth) BMS, the BMS came with the wires pre-soldered to the board.
10AWG on the B- and 10AWG on C-, my old board has 2 wires to C-, 12AWG to the controller and 16AWG to the charger.

Can these 2 wires go directly in parallel to the 1 wire on my new BMS?

(Because I prefer not to solder directly to the BMS board)

The 10 AWG wire can easily handle the current.
You could either solder or crimp the 12 and 16 AWG wires to the BMS C- wire

 

[From-A-To-B]

Building on eee291, and to affirm your understanding, Rudivb, B- goes to battery negative. C- is discharge negative and charge negative.

I agree that those 10awg are sized well enough for the 50A peak, 25A continuous BMS they are attached to.

Thanks both for the confirmation!
