Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so thinking something like this with some M6 ring terminals crimped on the ends
so this high voltage (360 volt) connection from that horizontal plug to the silver box (aka Inverter) is only live when the truck is on / running, when the truck is Off you can touch this cable and there is no juice in it Last edited by Gregski; 06-23-2023 at 04:29 PM. |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I really hope using a long stand off like a 1.5" will be ok cause I really don't want to redo the Inverter bracket

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I figure with the popularity of the sport we may have folks of different skill levels so it don't hurt to share some basic stuff like crimpin'
so this crimper aint the best, it leaves sharp edges, hence the file, now if you crimp in two steps, using something like a 35mm jaws then go down to 25mm ones you can sort of minimize the sharp edges, but if you just use the 25mm jaws you get a razer blade like edge to file away |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
decided to remove the OEM Lexus battery and AC connector off of the Inverter and block it off with a simple cover

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
not this is some serious stuff here, this is where 360 volts and bazillion amps will be coming in to this Lexus Inverter from the BMW battery pack on it's way to the Lexus transmission with two electric motors in it

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
in order to get the 360 high voltage wires as close to the inverter as possible we have to modify the inverter bracket

but first we must reinforce what's already there and what will remain after the debauchery that is about to ensue
