I have on my to-do list to clean up the connections. With the BMS modules on there it's just a pain and I have to be very careful (I know - if I had done it at the beginning ...).
I noticed the temperature first while driving from the BMS (Lithimate Lite) telling me one cell was getting over 40C. What was odd was I still got it on a cooler day (in the 70s), so it made me suspect the connections. So I checked a few of the bolt heads with my fingers for comparisons and noticed a few much warmer than others (none "hot" to the touch, just very warm instead of just warm or cool). I used the laser temperature gun just for some idea on the number ... and my fingers didn't lie ;). Those few were 4-5 C (10-12 F) warmer than the rest. I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, just wondered if there might be others having similar issues with CALBs that I should be aware of (bolts, straps, terminals ...) other than just a layer of corrosion on the terminals.
