Oh I forgot that info. I’ll edit in my post’s from 200A discharge 3.7V 8AH flat pouch lithium ion cells Where I documented making it.
To answer your question I accidentally made a 13S but it’s a 12S now. Make sure you count your cells not follow the balance leads/wiring diagram. That can be confusing.
They stack up for sure, but the energy density is bad. I am going to test out how it does with a charge and ride system, which is what I think it’s strong suit is.

shorted phase leads (who’d a thunk it)
Is it unwise to attempt a DRV repair on my first time using a hot air gun?
seems like a bad idea.

the shrink swap slid out of the bullet connectors on the motors. Could have also been on the truck mounting hardware.
Nothing visible that I can tell, I think It blew at really low current.
@Bavioze The enclosures have been taking their sweet time.

anyone who has attempted a DRV repair with little experience, input on this would be nice.
Not really much to loose I suppose…
Everyone’s 1st build is just a pile of money slowly catching on fire
