Well. Tonight I finished spot welding the pack, and wow that took longer than I expected. My fingers are a bit tired from getting scorched for two hours, but all of the welds are done. I’ll post more pics of the P groups after I wrap them in paper and finish charging them up.
Next session will be an intense soldering one, all of the series connections are going to take quite some time. Have to charge up all the parallel packs first though. Not sure if this charger is supposed to be able to do this or not, but it seems to be working fine. It’s a little sketch but since the charger only does 0.5a x 4, it’s not a big deal to use alligator leads.
Most of my cells are already at 4.1 ish volts, but there were a few sets down at 3.7, so I figured I’d just charge them all up to full since I hope to ride it within a week or so after I finish soldering together the series connections.
In the meantime, I ordered some carbon fiber vinyl wrap for the enclosure, and I think this stuff is gonna look pretty amazing.
