Then I made some 4p dummy cells that were shorter than the p42a and used black RTV silicone to glue the nese modules into the cell pockets with the dummy cells in place for a friction fit
this looks great. you just probably want to be careful that there’s enough pressure on the top to hold the cells onto the enclosure. wouldn’t want one jumping around in there.
Ahh it finally makes sense to me now. Personally, I think you are batshit crazy. But that can be a good thing! Are you gonna insulate the p groups? Super keen to see how it holds up to some abuse.
@mynamesmatt I had to use a credit card to slide the pgroups in because they are so tight. Zero worry about them popping out. I can flip over the enclosure and bang on it. No cells move!!!
@glyphiks I definitely am a sandwich short of a picknick!!! If you look at the P groups you can see the fishpaper on the cells that touch other P groups. I put foam insulation under the cells
The cells stick up above the nese tabs. where the balance wires are attached they stick up a little. But those are on the outside of the balance wire channel or loom
I would suggest getting heat shrink and shrinking the p groups. Then get some cheapo adheasive backed labels that show the brand, voltage, ah, and wh. It should really help with easing the mind of tsa if it looks “legitimate”. Also, road vibrations long term will be a challenge, things eventually settle and loosen. I would think on that a little more for a solution. Besides that I love the overall enginuety.
@RedBaron there really isn’t any room in the enclosure for the cells to move. They are jammed in there tight. Also as far as TSA regulations, I want the stock cells information visible so they can verify the cells and their ratings. I work at an international airport and deal with TSA every day.
