Discussion:
melted connectors

This unit has melted two sets connectors. I've checked the battery settings for a 1350 amp rated battery and they are set correctly at 2.12 full charge and 2.00 for discharge. battery specific gravity is at 1290 +/- 10 per cell. The main contactor is operating freely, the PTC checked good. I've replaced the cables, connectors, and contactor. However, it melted another set. Is there anything I'm missing?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
