I once did a Leaf battery swap for someone planning to add exen more range. Some of his wire and pcb fuse tests are on Youtube, look for Leaf Rex. Cor. On Mon, Jan 21, 2019, 9:10 AM EVDL Administrator via EV On 21 Jan 2019 at 1:18, ken via EV wrote: > > > > What is a 10ths wire? > > > > ten

You have two options, make the wire you have thinner, or select an alloy the melts at a lower temperature. Actually there is a possible third option - put some insulating material around it fo keep convective cooling from slowing down the blow. You would want a clear material or you would not be
