shipped configured to use the internal tem-
perature sensor only. To add an external
thermistor to the board, remove resistor R16
(side 2) and connect the thermistor across
via TN and TR.
Connect wires to module. Use large diameter
wire (18 AWG-20 AWG) for current carrying
lines from VR, V1, B+ and BN. All others are
signal only lines (24 to 22 AWG).
Connect external connector to BN, T, C, D
and B+.
Connect V1 to the most positive point on the
battery cell stack.
Connect the negative end of the top-most
cell to V2 and the negative end of the second
cell to V3.
Connect VR to the most negative point on the
battery cell stack.
