6:40 Thank God for you including this, I was stumbling around mouser looking for the big brother version of these (the 14mm UPC double plugs) and with this I can just get the exact one I need

Very informative video! You may want to put "not a sponsor" in the description because with how well you demonstrated it some people might think it's an ad even though it's not lol

Hi Bill what wire are you using with these and where you are sourcing it?
@BillCarlson Жыл бұрын
This is from Amazon - EWCS 2/0 "Premium Extra Flexible Welding Cable" - costs about $5-$10/foot depending on how much you get. You'll also want to get a 10+ ton hydraulic crimper. I got a 16 ton from Amazon for about $60.

Great info but if you can get cables and connectors off a leccy car it's way cheaper. Usually the cable will be shielded too.
@BillCarlson Жыл бұрын
For sure! In my build I used all of the cables and connectors that I got from the donor EV - even extending them in a couple of cases. However, since I split my battery pack between 4 sub packs, I needed some additional wires and connectors between them all.

I was so excited to have these connectors on my VW Beetle conversion and made 2 stupid mistakes. 1) I neglected to put the collar on before crimping, 2) I crimped… but cannot get the hydraulic crimped off since my 2/0 cables are already run. So frustrating that I will need to trash the connector ($30 mistake) but how will I be able to crimp a new one?? So frustrating.

My crimper has a little bolt on top that lets me remove the top crimper pad (also used to change crimper sizes). Undoing that means I can remove the crimp from the tool. Does yours have that?

talking about that DeLorean.... ever sealed those wide open battery boxes? XD

The rear one is fully enclosed, the front packs will be sealed up the next time I pull them. Probably when I install the cooling system. All the panels are ready to install.

Hi I was having a question if I use a without keyway 90° connector and with keyway type receptacle will they mate?
@BillCarlson4 ай бұрын
I'm not completely sure, since I don't have any of the non-keyway versions to compare, but I believe a non-keyway will work with anything else. I'm guessing this is why you can't get a non-keyway version of the high voltage or EMI-shielded connectors.

@@BillCarlson So I have check different photo online actually the rotatable keyway hole of receptacle is an extra attachment that come only with w keyway receptacle which make it thickness greater than w/o keyway receptacle So i think for my above question it might not connect
