This is the exact same process that we go through when starting to design a new pack for the car (or any battery pack for that matter) - so this is all required knowledge for building battery packs.
This project can be completed largely offline in your own time, but there will be discussions during check-ins and feel free to ask questions on Slack at other times! There is quite a bit of reading in this intro and you’ll come across a lot of words you might not know. But fear not! As an engineer you’ll 100% be in this situation basically always. Although difficult, you’ll probably learn the most in these situations too! So, don’t be discouraged, search up words you don’t know, and if all else fails skip sections and you’ll likely come back to it later with the information needed to understand it!
Google is your friend and so is this Confluence, search up what term/system/whatever you are confused about on either one and you will find your answer 99.9% of the time
Step 1
Read through these PDFs about designing and building a battery pack. These compile a ton of information - don’t be scared to read them, but be sure to spend the time to understand them. If you have any questions, then message the #mech-battery-box channel on slack and someone will get back to you!
