Recent battery for @Ac53n
Do you have enough rigid insulation between P groups 1-6 & 7-12? I would be concerned about enclosure pressures and vibrations bending the nickel tabs enough to potentially short against each other. Just a thought.
Yes I did several layers of fish paper in between which is sectioned out for each p group
I personally would want more separation than that.
Well the pack is meant to be flexible so there are very few options for that.
What exactly would you recommend for that purpose?
Multiple small pieces of thin FR4
Just ordered. Will add to the battery as soon as it comes in
Or a 2mm 3dp piece would work too, between fishpaper
I usually just try to avoid building in this config because it freaks me out
e.g. but a thick one
12s2p and 10s3p p28a now with a 2mm 3d printed spacer printed with fire retardant polycarbonate for @cmatson
