Vendor Network Jumpers for 350V / 14-Module Packs

[Recell]

the vNext network jumpers for our RC 210+ packs have arrived! Super clean, plug’n play!

Some background: this connector allows the BMS to bypass Module 8 and 9 in the network string of a Model S battery pack. A simple, but critical piece in converting a 400V / 16-module pack to a 350V 14-module reman.

More on this in the weeks ahead as we begin rollout of our RC 210+ kits for 3rd party service pros.

Not sure @Recell is ready to sell to DIYers yet. Perhaps 3rd party professionals to start? Then DIYers, if they pass a safety test and sign appropriate liability waiver Come to think of it same safety test and waiver for 3rd party professionals is a good idea also.

That sounded odd to me. Is this specifically only 8 and 9, or is that just an example? I thought the purpose of this was to make a pack usable again if there had been a problem or failure in one module. So this could bypass it and make it usable as a whole. What if the failed brick that needs to be bypassed is not 8 or 9? What if it's 5 or something? Can this be applied in a different place to still do the repair?

We suggest grabbing some paper with the pack layout, and maybe some cut outs for the modules. It's a bit like a game of musical chairs with the #8 and #9 chairs now removed.

We're not trying be obtuse (honest), it's a worthwhile exercise.
