Hi guys,
looong time no post. I have been lurking and designing the chassis for my build and it has taken a long time to land for me as I want to be able to quickly service my modules (P120) and not have to solder or cut anything to do so. props to another forum member AJW22 here for their STL files that i have taken and modified to suit my purposes. Thanks mate!
I have enclosed one side of my battery chassis (Negative will be in black, in the future thepositive side will be red) to create a top and bottom opening that will act as a duct for the heat that rises through it. the long mons can sit in the narrowed top opening to measure any difference in temperature as the air flows over them.
The plan is to haveconnections viasimple sprung battery terminals that arespot welded to 8mm nickel stripsrunning the length of the chassis and with criss cross connections. The nickel and sprung terminals will be attached via a compression plate on each side to match the profile of the chassis and seal off the ends of the batteries. one side will have glass fuses between sprung connection and nickel strip.
The whole idea is rapid deconstruction when cells need testing/replacing. as I am hoping for 6 banks of 14 modules serviceability becomes the priority.
8mm nickel strip is cheap.
the sprung battery terminals are cheap.
the glass fuses are cheap.
I am still in the prototype stages but can anyone bring some helpful critique to this design to improve it from here? open to experienced voices.
