Lithium Project is a Go!
I thought I had everything in, but forgot the copper busbars. So waiting till they arrive to complete the pack this coming weekend. I have the diagram provided for the Leaf build, but am cautious when connected batteries. I will be triple checking the connections before I bolt them in :)
Before: IMG_20190613_090918.jpg IMG_20190803_101458.jpg Removed 400lbs of batteries and cut the battery hold down off. Sanded the rush and sprayed it with Rustoleum before creating the base. IMG_20190803_110805.jpg I created 22x10 inserts for the bottom of the battery box, then filled the space with 2 inch angle iron for support. Afterward I bolted a 22x20 piece of aluminum for the deck. Its solid as a rock and easily supports my 210 lbs. IMG_20190803_150413.jpg Following the extremely detailed guild created by MCJEFE and I'm slowly and nervously building the pack. Thanks to cmysstailights for the 3D printed terminal covers, they fit perfectly. IMG_20190803_150418.jpg May be a stupid question, but is there a particular series of terminals that need to be connected first? Left to right, top terminal? Don't want to short anything out, so being very careful. |

Re: Lithium Project is a Go!
Attached is the drawing I supplied for McJefe and his RXV lithium install. You can see the position of the bus bars on the drawing. Nice job on the tray, BTW.

Re: Lithium Project is a Go!
I suggest that you close off the top of the back wall up to the cart label and also the triangular areas on both sides below the rise in the cart frame over the axle. You will get a lot of dirt, water splash and debris, if not. The batteries basically close all that off before, but the dirt & water didn't matter as much for them.
First pic for a single pack. Charger on bottom next to pack, DC-DC converter on Driver side flat area. When I have done a double pack in a TXT, I had DC-DC in same place but charger was mounted on 5" tall all thread above the DC-DC converter, 2nd pic. |

Re: Lithium Project is a Go!
Great diagram PingEye! Man, I wish I had this when I started on my build. It would have saved me a lot of hours searching the internet and trying to triple check everything.

If you are worried about it, put in a fan. There are a lot of choices at BGMicro. I bought four of these from them today: http://www.bgmicro.com/fan-axial-40x...l-bearing.aspx I'll run them from the other side of the solenoid and wire the four in series. So when the solenoid is activated the active cooling will be running. ---edit--- I just noticed every post so far on this thread is from someone living in Florida... Pretty wild |
