Ok, I tested the safeties on the BMS and the motor controller – all seems to be ok. I do have some cutouts on the BMS during charging, but I suspect that is because the shielding on the cables are not all they are supposed to be. I don’t have cutouts on the cable supplied with the BMS, but I do on the stuff I bought from Fry’s (go figure, cheap stuff from Fry’s??? gosh, the mind boggles 😉 ). For now, I will suffer with occasional communications errors, but I will have to replace the cables sometime (Thanks Davide!).
So tonight, the Moment of Truth. Will Sparky move? Stand by. 🙂
