Hi all , just a word of warning regarding handling batteries , plugging / unplugging connectors , testing with a multimeter. BE CAREFULL , stop and think first if there is as danger of a short circuit.
I didn't and suffered 5 hours in A&E last night .I wanted to check the voltage on my 48v 20ah battery yesterday and stupidly ended up shorting two banana plugs together in my right hand ( I was about to put them in my multi meter) Thumb and middle two fingers now out of action and possibly may need skin grafts.
