1 down…11 to go.

@glyphiks and @ZachTetra better? put more fishpaper under the positive insulated the sides and put more between the p groups

[ZachTetra]

That picture isn’t loading

[ZachTetra]

If that tucks under the nickel all the way so it overlaps with the rings then you’re good, the outer ends are good thought

[Halbj613]

yep it tucks all the way in
thanks just making sure all is reasonably good

@glyphiks

Make sure you have fish paper under any nickel that folds over the shoulder of a positive end

I found this a easy solution to that

[Darkie02]

@Halbj613

put more between the p groups

I purposely don’t do this as there’s 0 potentchal voltage. fare more important to place it at the sides that’s were I have 2 layers but more never hurts

@Darkie02

What do you call this wizardry?

[rafaelinmissouri]

Kind of inspired by the last pack I built with the duckbatteries pcb.

I wanted to get the wiring harness done ahead of time.

So I got that soldered up and soldered to the nickel tab before welding on p groups 1 and 12.

not sure what you mean by at the sides.

[Darkie02]

I use rings under the nickle on pos ends I do’t use barely paper on the red lines as there’s no voltage potential

I use it between all the green lines as there is voltage potential
Also the green lines have barly paper stuck to the cells on both sides so it’s only barly paper rubbing against barley paper

Foam tape between the 2 sides and keption tape under any tabs you solder

@BigBen

What do you call this wizardry?

I call them key hole but no idea of there real name

[Halbj613]

ah yeah i see now thanks gonna do that and keep at least 2 layers of fishpaper between those

started soldering and was wondering the best way to test my joints? i pulled hard and they didnt come undone but vibrations can do that sort of stuff easily

[rafaelinmissouri]

It’s alive.
Once again I can’t believe how much time and effort go into these…

Just got slap some more tape all around and then I can build a board…

[ZachTetra]

Why so much electrical tape?

[BenjaminF]

That looks like wiring harness tape to me. Fairly abrasion resistant. Not garbage like electrical tape is.

[ZachTetra]

Ahh that makes more sense

[GJF1]

I having the same problem now only the xapham enclosure is not as wide as the 44 going to have to use a 1/2" gasket

I’m this close to chopping it and making it deeper smh…

[rafaelinmissouri]

Yep.
It is Tesa Tape.
I love the stuff.

To me it’s like a velvety kapton…

i thought i would just post this here
ive got 13 6p modules of 30t cells they are welded but not soldered. the welds were reasonably good but maybe a little cold.
if anyone wants to take them for cheap just pm me as i dont need them

cheers
