Fall 2024 Onboard - timeline

To get everyone started on the battery box teamBattery Structures & Cell subteam, 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!

You’ll start by reading up on some of the battery pack details and manufacturing methods, and then move to design a simple pack to understand how to put everything together and then provide a recommendation for a battery pack for a car similar to MSXV.

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 Discord 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
