Default Re: DIY 101 - 14 cell Nissan Leaf lithium pack

For temp sensor I stripped a piece of the 22 awg twisted pair CAN bus cable and soldered it to the temp sensor that was ordered with the BMS from ZEVA. These sensors have extremely small wires and anything larger than 22 awg might not fit into hole of the module.

The temp sensor was inserted about 3" into the small hole in the end of the module, taped in place and then run and connected to the BMS.

The ZEVA manual says to sandwich the temp sensor between two modules which would probably be fine and most module cases are plastic but these are aluminum and I am just not a fan of pinching electrical wires between metal surfaces.
