Did I understand correctly that in order to give the command to turn on the contactor, I must close the red and gray wires from the signal connector of the standard charger (OBC)? At the end of charging the battery, should I open these two wires again? Isn't it?

Not exactly. Do this in order:


1. Turn on key normally.


2. Short red to gray wires (such as with my switch).


3. Turn off key, remove key. Contactor will stay closed with key out. Charge light will blink even when NOT charging. Will also blink when you're charging. You can now charge with or without using the OBC.


4. When done charging, open the red to gray wires (back to normal). Put key in and ride away.

Greetings! During balancing, the BMS board turns off the contactor and then turns it on again. Will the contactor disconnection and activation circuit work according to your instructions?

I never noticed the contactor going off and on again during a normal charge with or without the modification. But even if it does and you're concerned, you can always normal it up just before the end of the charge.
