This term, the battery box mini-project will be mandatory for all team members.
This project will be less complicated than last term’s
The project will be more relevant to the car to have members understand the importance of the mini-project
The purpose of the mini-project is to build configure a battery series pack based on certain specs, there will be a good amount of handholding (i.e., help will be provided when asked so be proactive!)
The project will last for two weeks following Thursday, Jan 14th, 7:30 PM general
End of week 1 | Thursday, Jan 21st: First presentation of findings thus far, including thought process and questions
End of week 2 | Thursday, Jan 28th: Final presentations of solution

Item | Spec | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Amount of Energy Stored in pack | 100Wh minimum | We also want minimum weight while meeting this criteria. Minimum weight is a hard requirement (must be met). |
Cell Nominal Voltage | 3.635V | |
Cell Nominal Capacity | 3450mAh | |
Operating Voltage | 6-18V | Must stay in this range for the entire discharge. At any charge state (from fully charged to fully discharged, the pack voltage should be more than 6V and less than 18V). |
Single Cell Min, Max Voltage | 2.5V, 4.2V | At the full charge and full discharge limits |
