i only have the small brown wire in the same spot as an orange wire.
all other wires are alone in there spots.
does my brown wire needs to be with the SAME orange wire it was on the connector ? because i didnt labeled them before i cutted the connectors off. so its paired with any orange wire i found...
No, what you have done is fine. With only a 3.3v sense wire, that eliminates one part of the puzzle.
It would really be useful if you would try a charge cycle on your 5s cell starting around .8C . According to the specification placard, your supply certainly has the capacity to carry a higher rate, but obviously it is sagging under the load. If it runs at .8C without a significant voltage drop, then up the rate. If it won't carry a .8C rate, you may have a faulty supply. I must confess that I'm running out of options here; maybe bgosselin has a suggestion that can help out.
