It all fits inside the enclosure, need to sand down the deck a bit to give me 1-3mm of clearance on the sides to fit the 20700 cells. I am double stacking the batteries as you can see. it fits surprisingly snug.
A 9p is just too much for me loool, I just like having the all in one box type of board. No extra extremities if you will. I will take a pic of the cells with the unity soon. Though the extra 12 cells does make a difference in space for a build.
Indeed, I would rather clock out at 80amps continuous rather than maybe what a 8p of 30Q’s or more can do. I doubt I would want more range and it’s too bad I only have a 2amp charger for this battery. I estimate about 15hours of charge from 0 to 100 lmao…
and sometimes having to not replace your pack as often (lets say 2 years for a 5p pack and 4 years for a 10p pack) cause you dont charge the pack as much
It’s going to be tight, but tight enough enough space for a BMS on top of the unity and enough for a receiver. Nothing more and nothing less, spaced well used
I see your point with pack longevity but also after 2 years there will probably be new better cells available so i guess what I’m trying to say is it’s not horrible if in a couple years you have to replace the battery
Though this pack will make it long enough so that cells would be either cheap as hell for newer generation cells or something better. This is my long term investment that will take me on the tour de Montreal
I will very very annoyed knowing that there will be newer gen Lacroix owners with 12s12p boards. Every time I aim to be on top there is always on top of me still. xD
Though battery longevity can be extended with how you use the battery discharge wise, how fast you charge them and where you stop charging them (ex. 4.19v per parallel group).
If you are able to achieve that, then a pack can last years with minimal wear than it could if you completely abused a battery pack from 100 to 0 and fast charging all the time.
