Thank you very much, that sounds like the perfect tool, just finished work, will check it out after i’ve had a bath. 
Curious what you guys are using as a battery disconnect, controlled by a relay? Solenoids, contactor, mosfet, etc…
In the process of building a PCB that uses 10 - 400a power mosfets in parallel, to connect / disconnect the battery from charger & load.
Basically the exact same circuit I Used to make my spot welder but using slightly different mosfets
Isn’t the problem with MOSFET that they can get stuck on/fail on?
That the same problem with most things… part of the reason why I’m running 10 mosfets in parallel that are rated at 400 amps each. My maximum load should only be 200a - 300a at most. Those 10 mosfets should be theoretically able to carry 4000a… so they shouldn’t fail with 300a… I’m also planning on running a 400a in-line fuse.
But again that’s why I’m curious what other people are using. I’m designing the pcbs anyway for my spot welder to make it look more professional so I figured I would just use the same PCB for my battery disconnect. And obviously I don’t plan on running 300 amps through the PCB traces LOL basically it’ll look like the kweld with big beefy copper rails for the current to flow through
I’ve Been an electrician for 25+ years, and I can’t even begin to tell you how many contactors and solenoids I’ve seen fail. Not necessarily failed closed, just failed in general… and when you’re talkin about 400 amp contactors or solenoids of decent quality, they’re not cheap
Isn’t this what a shunt trip typically would do?
This is what I’m using. Can hook this up to the relay attached to your bms. Still being shipped so haven’t tested but don’t see why it wouldn’t work… @daromer pointed me in this direction. I think he has one setup.

ive been using georges leaf bms on my nissan leaf cells since about the 2nd week he released them they have been rock solid and work perfectly fine and that about 8 months now
Pretty bad when a builder has more runtime experience than the author. You should post a picture of your monster bank. My little 6kw pair will look teeny in compatison.

Very nice arrangement, very clean. Like the extinguisher ball. So… the handles on the side are so you and a friend can pick power wall up and move it around… Haha
lol no chance of lifting it with 2 people, maybe 2 worlds srongest men might just be able to, it was to move the metal case into the garage which is 3mm steel lined with 12mm cement board so it weighs about 120kg itself plus the 300odd kg of battery in there
Figured it was there to stay…
What do you get for cell-to-cell deviation. My cells still had 60ah (from a wrecked vehicle) and I never saw more than 10mv spread.
about 13mv and there is 2 cars worth there but they both 2011 models gen1 cells
