i was trying to blow up these li-iron cells to see how resilient they are so i knew what precautions i should be taking going forward. a friend drilled through one and that instantly sent it into flames.
they have a safety mechanism ive never seen where if shorted for more than a couple seconds they somehow will greatly reduce the current but show the same voltage…and then after a while they will even come back and be able to produce large currents again when shorted. maybe a thermal fuse or something.
if I did not have 180+ A123 sitting here I would consider it for sure.
if i still has my onewheel v1 controller I could try them out in a 16S1P config to see if they actually got longer range or just did worse due to sad sag. If so I bet 16S2P would be pretty good.
this looks very interesting, if you bypass discharge on that bms you could get 70 amps continues out of that battery and its just about prefect size for most top mount situations
I still want the 26650 K2 batteries hope they’ll still be available in the next 2/3 weeks ( if I get them I’ll prob do a post for the project I have in mind, that’ll be official if I do get em, not that much related to Esk8 but kinda 🥲)
the discharge rate compensate for it tho 60c right? You could use them as a spot welder battery even tho you can have lipos for cheaper and the same ratings.
yeaaaah seems more like they might hold the battery together/ be part of the case.
and you can mesure the threads with a caliper top of one thread to the top of the one right after it if it’s metric (wich it should be because ahem ahem international mesurements lol) then easy you should get 1.00 up to 2.75 mm in this case at least, my guess is 1.00mm threads.
and most likely import taxes on top of it
?
