Mercedes OEM L09-1 EV Battery is pretty cool.

Also. It wont let me upload pictures in my posts. Is that because I’m new?

yeah some quality rubber tubing would be good you would need something flexible.

Whatever liquid you use would need to not grow anything in it I’m not sure what I would use…

Agreed. I want to use pex (rigid and wont puncture or kink) and I can figure that part out. Just struggling to make a reliable connection with any material to the battery

I’m going to use automotive coolant, just like what used to be in there!

I like the rigid idea but that seems more prone to vibration making noise or snapping on a crash causing a spill. Flexible all around for me I think, maybe straight runs would be solid but very well attached.

“Cool” :sunglasses:

Let me know what product you pick out in the end!

I think I found the connectors!!! Took a TON of calling around to get this far, now it’s just a matter of sorting through the options. I think it’s one of the 17.5mm or 18mm ones? The link is the page we need to scour, the image is just an example of one that’s close.

No! Luckily each time I decide to buy one, I wait another couple of days and they are out of stock again. I’d have to make room for the project I want to do w/ them anyways.

I’m pretty impressed with these packs. Have 2 in series to make a 24s pack at around 96V or so. Hooked a Daly BMS to it and look how even the cells were! All within a .006v range of each other!
