Keith, try ordering the balance leads online or getting them from a local hobby or electrical speciality store. But, be careful of the prices being charged for the leads, some of my local stores sell them as a speciality R/C items costing $7-$10 and you can buy them online in multi-packs of 25 (1S-8S) for less than $7. When shopping locally, ask for charging balance leads and take your BG-8S with you when you go, the store staff should be able to match up the pins on the BG-S8 with the connectors they have in stock. You can get premade leads with connectors ranging from 1S to 32S; with 1S thur 8S being the most common connectors used. Any connectors will work as long as the connector and the holes in the connector match up with the pins on the BG-8S and remember that you can use a 8S connector with any pack that is 7S and below; just cut off or tie off the wires that you aren't using. The connector type that's normally used in the R/C and DIY Drone worlds, is the "XH 2.54/1S-8S"; if you are having a hard time finding the leads, try shopping on websites that sell drones and/or R/C models; they always have balance leads in stock. Thanks and I hope that this helps, have a good and safe one!
Nice ang galing, napaka smart. 😊 God bless po
Will this balance a 200Ah LifePo4 8s bank?
This was an excellent video. Would you be willing to share where you sourced the parts? Where can we purchase the 9 pin connector for the Battgo?
hi, the 9 wire adaptor is actually from my 8s BMS, you can buy from ebay, aliexpress or amazon internationally
Have you tested the accuracy of displayed voltages vs volt meter?
using a digital multi meter with a 0.1 to 0.2V difference, but used a cheap multi meter, so not so convinced.
Smart ideas like it
Better than useless video. But not much.
Mine didn't come with any wire. Not sure how to get a wire set up
