yes and the shield should be connected to one end common point. not both ends.
also this defines the physical layer not the Can protocal.

Good news!

It's taken a long while, but there's finally communication! The BMS controller simply had no CAN output. Replacement arrived, and all is well (sort of). It's currently trying to jog some life back into the batteries, but there were some really bad cells, so... The lowest one after I tried bringing them back was something like 2.7v, so it should be able to charge.

Although very oddly right now, it's reporting that there's no current flow. Hmm.

Oops, forgot to set the cell parameters in the new BMS controller. Now that's done...ish and the batteries are charging. Tons of parameters the HiPower sheets don't give...

Anyone know what a typical charge temperature of LiFePo4 cells is? At about 4.5ºC?
