Finally got the buss bars I wanted, and was getting ready to top balance my EVE 280 Ah cells (8 cells, am doing a 4S 2P). I was torquing down the nuts to 4 Nm (they said they could be torqued to a max of 10 Nm), all were fine, except for one--one stinking positive post.
This EVE set up has the post you screw down into the terminal, then the nut torques down on to the post. One of them would not torque to 4 Nm, it just kept turning. I did not turn it down too much (kind of a relative term), but sure enough the screw down post is just stripping out. Anyone have any experience in what can be done? I got the cells several months ago, and of course no way to prove that I did not over torque them, so if nothing can be done, I will just have to order another cells and wait 4 months to get it in.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
