I’ll probably place the cells as close to the center as possible to shorten wiring and to have a better weight balance, with screws to keep them in position.
to have them inside the frame allows me to protect them from damage and to save space and weight of battery support.
I’m a bit confusd regarding AWG and ampacity, because motors are 25A rated and arrived with 18AWG wire, but according to wikipedia 18AWG has 16A ampacity, am I reading wrong the table? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge
considering the quadcopter maximum draw of 30A, which AWG should I use for wiring the battery?
could someone clarify me about AWG ? on the internet I find discordant tables of AWG and ampacity of wires, maybe it depends on temperature? which wires do you recommend for this battery pack (40A maximum constant discharge current)?
using HG2 cells it will have 40A of constant discharge current and 6000mAh of capacity, my quadcopter will draw a maximum of 30A and higher capacity would be too much heavy.
regarding the diagram, how would you do it?
