Checking Your Battery Work 🔋

When it comes to checking your work building your battery, I noticed it was kinda hard to find photos of little details, solder/weld work, etc in the Battery Builders Club. Making this thread might cut down on some repeatedly asked questions. So I decided to make this thread as a reference.

Link your helpful pictures and examples of good battery building for n00bs (like me) here, keeping words to a minimum for the least amount of clutter. :grinning:

Wait… I can edit any of those posts? :heart_eyes:
I’m going to be in there a lot.

So what happens if I don’t know what I’m talking about and you or someone else wants to call BS on what I wrote?

If we like what’s there, can we make it harder to change?

This could be the answer we’ve been looking for. I just didn’t get it until now. :sleeping:

The more the better, just like with batteries.

Until it’s too much

Well, that’s what I mean…
@Mainflow can curate, it’s his thread. the question is, can he lock someone out? I will volunteer to be the first to try and get thrown out :joy:

It’s getting edited. Like adding useful intel.

Building a 12s3p for a Tayto build. Any recommendations on balance lead layout? I think I’m gonna end up crossing after the 8th lead

Edit: yes I know I could have made my life easier if I did a different configuration. I should stop making batteries not sober

If the series connection wires stick up more than the balance leads then it won’t matter very much if they cross, because the battery won’t ever “pinch” them against the deck during vibrations, it’ll pinch the series leads first since they stick up higher

New to eskate…but wondering if it is possible to add either a second battery or just a bigger better battery to extend the range of my teamgee H5?
Thank you

It’s possible but not worth the effort.
