Hello fellow Insighters!
I received my lithium modules from Bumblebee a week ago to find a fairly nice bend in the 18S batteries. The 12S survived perfectly. As a mechanical engineer, I find electrons mysterious, and I also know that the electrical engineers that I've worked with don't like bends in their cables. So, I have a few questions:
Is there an acceptable minimum bend radius for these wires? Or another binary test to know if this is useable?
Since these have not caught fire yet, what risk is there if I use these harnesses as is? I know for one, the more a wire is cycled, the more it will do funny things, so I know I need to bend it as little as possible if used.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
