You will find a printed circuit board (PCB).<br \/>\nIt is a battery management system (BMS) which equalizes the charge in each of the cells.<br \/>\nThe wire B1 is the one attached to the battery anode. Connecting his professional quality voltmeter to the battery anode and to the other nine wires in succession.<\/p>\n<p>There is one 10-Pin connector on this PCB.
