 The motor controller can be programmed using a special USB cable and Windows software from Golden Motors. The three areas we need to be most concerned with are highlighted in yellow. (We're mainly looking to deliver the most power we can without blowing the 30 amp fuse.) The motor controller can be programmed using a special USB cable and Windows software from Golden Motors.

 The diagram below shows how Pack #1 of the two packs get connected with copper bars and then how the wires from the balancing cables of the charger gets connected. (STILL TO DO: photos, Pack #2, and more instructions.) The diagram below shows how Pack #1 of the two packs get connected with copper bars and then how the wires from the balancing cables of the charger gets connected.

 +Leaf Cells look like this when they come out of a Nissan Leaf. There's a lot of packs in there!

 +Each individual pack consists of two packs internally. You can check voltage on an individual pack by putting a multimeter on the center (white) connector and the the matching positive or negative connector depending on which pack you are testing.

 +You can stack up the packs to build larger packs. Make sure you've got the red terminal above the black terminal when you stack them.

 +Here's a stack of 3 cells, which comes out to about 28 volts. (Note: add color to this diagram!)

 +We made some copper bars to connect things up... 
 + 
 +{{:projects:leaf-pos-neg.png?&500|}} 
 + 
 +Here's how it looks with the copper bars in place so all the cells are connected into one larger pack. Note that there is a positive (+) and a negative (-) for your pack. 
 + 
 +**Caution!** Do not short the pack in any way! Sparks will fly and bad things can happen! 
 + 
 +{{:projects:leaf-flow.png?&500|}} 
 + 
 +Here's how the current flows through the pack when it's all put together. It's like magic!
