Hi, I’ve bulid a simple 6s board a year ago just by reading this forum. Now i feel like it’s time to step up my game a bit so im building another one. The plan is to use 10s battery and torque boards motor with VESC. I don’t want to mess with 18650 yet becouse no one within 100km of me has a spotwelder to lend and i don’t feel like buying one. I’ve come up with using Lipo’s with BMS for charging only. I have the mboards bms https://www.mboards.co/collections/diy-electric-skateboard-parts/products/10s-bms-battery-management-system it has 10 balance wires going from B1 to B10. So the question: is this diagram correct? I’ll be very thankful for somebody that’s more experienced to look at this.
Looks good, I’ve used the same BMS. The only thing you don’t need a thick cable between battery and B- (it’s for charging only), put it between battery and ESC. But maybe this is just the look in your diagram
I know im mostly asking about the balance cables. My MS paint skills suck lol. Thanks for the feedback
Balance wiring is correct I’d suggest using 5S balance wire extensions just in case you think about cutting them. This way is much safer IMO and in case of a broken BMS you could charge the lipos with a balance charger or monitor cell voltages.
This is my 10S BMS, was used for 6s and 4s lipos in series

I’ve orderd extensions with bateries in case i would **** it up
That looks modular nice work!
