I do not have the tools to extend the enclosure or cnc the deck. I also don’t want to squeeze the bms on top of the esc as I am afraid the heat would cause problems.
I have looked into another configuration but still not sure exactly how it is supposed to be wired:
That configuration lets you keep the output wires as short as possible, which helps prevent voltage spikes and noise. Yes, I insulated each cell group, then when the pack was all soldered I insulated between them again before heatshirnking it.
@Jinra
I’m worried that this is gonna be another board on fire.
Those cells are so tight in there that the positive nickel strips are gonna be rubbing against the thin insulation of the negative cell housings. and there doesn’t appear to be enough room to properly insulate the cell groups.
Shave off the plastic boundaries at the top and bottom (according to your picture’s orientation) and you’ll have more space to play around with. I’m going to stack my bms though. I feel that the much greater potential to create a short with your unconventional configuration will cause more problems than a possible overheating issue with the bms stacked on top. Just my 2 cents.
