• for cooling methods, note that you can have bigger fans, etc.

  • then provide some resources that might help initiate that research or design process

• create section for helpful resources found in step 4? or sprinkled across step 3?

  • probably step 4 and put it organized in a table and allow people to feel free to add

• all this research might not be necessary to reach a deliverable at the end

  • they are all good for learning but may not be all necessary

  • pick and choose carefully (time is a resource)

Research

Steps 1, 2 - Assembly Components Positional Design Space

This has overlaps with another assigned research tasks related to the specifications of the current Battery Box assembly. Some research will still be pursued here.

This will aim for more minimal references and research regarding this topic.

It has both front and rear electronics. It seems like the cell modules portion is in the front section only. The rear is for electronic boards.

Step 3 - Cooling Methods

This has overlaps with another assigned research tasks related to the specifications of the current Battery Box cooling methods. Some research will still be pursued here.

Larger focus on technical research and options available online.

• There is also generally so much documentation related to Battery Box on confluence on the Mechanical Space and Electrical Space

  • It seems like it would be very valuable to learn all about it just to know more context.
