New Single Build for my Brother

Calling all battery builders

@barajabali @longhairedboy @willpark16

You simply add the cells to those single rows however if you don’t u derstamd how to add parallel cells I wouldn’t advise to go out and build a battery, have someone do it for you or read some more

You connect the 20 batteries into parallel and then you will have 10x 2p packs once that is done you connect the 2p packs into series to give 10s2p. The balance leads go onto all of the series connections I believe

you’re going to need blood. A lot of blood. And a transmutation circle.

haha thanks for the input guys :slight_smile: i understand how to wire cells in series or parallel, no problem. what i dont understand is

  1. in a 1p obviously each cell can be measured individually through the balance leads. but in a 2, 3 … 550p :smiley: how does that work? i join two cells in parallel an just have them use the balance leads together?

  2. if i wanna make a really flat pack, so lets say 10 x 2 next to each other (not stacked on top), how do i go about seperating them, so they dont short on the poles when the two rows are lying „next to each other“? just a bunch of isolating tape?

hope you understand what i am asking here hahah :slight_smile: cheers guys

  1. Yes the two cells just use the one balance lead

  2. You can use whatever you like eg. cardboard, tape, rubber or foam. Anything that is nonconductive

Maybe some battery builders can let you know what they use

Hey so i was thinking … a 7S3P would still be better than a 10S2P?

1000W / 25.9V (7S) = 38.61A 38.61A / 3 (3P) = 12.87A per cell

Is this thinking correct? The 10S BMS on alien systems is sold out for a while, thats why i am looking into other options. Are there reasons why a 10s2p would still be preferred over a 7s3p? The cell count only differs by 1 cell …

I have this small BMS but i don’t have tested yet http://e-greenmotion.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=111_128&product_id=288

Interesting! Cause that one also has a switch and a cable for LED indicators … Do you think they are shipping from within Europe?

Yeah its a very small bms included the switch and led indicators cable :slight_smile: . I’am from belgium but i have orderd from them with ebay but they have stopped selling on ebay. You can send them a mail, they answer very fast

You could get these, they look good! https://eskating.eu/product/10s2p-eskating-electric-skateboard-battery/ https://eskating.eu/product/7s3p-eskating-electric-skateboard-battery/

its true thats a pretty cool offer. only thing is that id prefer 30q cells over 25r and i kind of wanna take the challenge and build my own battery pack :slight_smile:

It’d honestly be cool if you make it yourself! I’m just scared since I think it’s the most important/dangerous part and I just don’t trust my hands(( Do you have any tools? Spot welder, soldering iron?

Yes i have a 100w soldering iron :slight_smile:

A while later … :smiley:

Not the best hot glue and soldering job but the cells stayed cool and the connections feel legit :slight_smile:
