Fall 2022 2023 Onboard - timeline
To get everyone started on the battery box team, it would be good to go through the basics of designing a simple battery pack. This exercise will help you understand what you are contributing to this term!
...
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 the 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!

Draw a diagram of the cells, how they are connected together, and where the main battery terminals are for the battery configuration calculated for Step 2.
We will be holding a tutorial session on Sept. 16th @ 1:30PM to work through Steps 2 & 3 but we encourage everyone to try on their own first. You will need to answer question 4 on your own so give it your best shot and don’t be scared to reach out for help!
Step 4
Now that you should know how to design a battery pack, we’ll get you to run through the process of choosing a battery configuration for a car, given the following parameters (chosen to loosely represent Midnight Sun XIV):
...
Step 5
Submit your answer to the Battery Leads (Owen Li , Eric Zhao ) Donna Kim , Shem Kim or Nicole Choe through Slack and then we can discuss some more in detail about your answer. We’ll make sure that you understand what you will be contributing to this term!
