72V AC Drive Precedent Progress

Here is the switch within easy reach that is near the F/N/R. 19mm latching type w/led indicator.

Also shown is the LED indicator I put near the key (where I'd originally located the switch, but as mentioned there are issues if you extend the leads that far from the battery box. It's possible that shielded cable could help after discussion with RD, but decided I liked the switch nearer the charge port as the light is a reminder when plugging in.

Lastly there is an overview showing the Renogy shunt location, the variable regen mechanism, the BMS switch wiring going through the battery compartment, and the storage space left at the edge plus the hold-down straps. The switch with the blue tape marked "off" is where I put the on / off temporarily while I was deciding where to put it permanently and just left it in but it isn't connected to anything currently.

RD was very good about locating terminals and on / off switch wiring exits where I wanted them on the enclosure.

Looks great!
Do they use the Daly BMS?
Is the box aluminum or steel?
Did you heavy up the cables? I think the spec from Doug says 4AWG terminals, but I was thinking of going up a size or so.

BMS is not Daly - pretty generic but specs seemed solid. You can ask about using something else - they might go for it, they're pretty accommodating. I did ask about using a BMS where I could / monitor cell parameters but they said they couldn't warranty something they weren't familiar with and apparently they have a track record with what they are using.

Box is steel.

I'm using #2 cables.

Great info. Thanks!
