Batteries


The batteries arrived just before Christmas. 45 off Sky Energy 100AH cells. I spent a few hours bolting them into groups of 5 using the mounting plates provided.


Its pretty scary wielding pieces of uninsulated metal around the terminals of these cells as they can put out over 1000 amps each.


I have now finished my open source DC controller and it is all set to be tested at high voltage.



I am waiting on fuses and contactors before wiring up the whole battery pack.
For a BMS I am going to use another open source project from http://www.batteryvehiclesociety.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1245
