This page will outline everything that will be going inside of the enclosure. The top level battery box CAD should in theory include everything as well, but it takes time to include everything in the CAD so this page is a better reference.

QTY

Location/Mounting Method

Battery

Battery Module

  • Makes up the main pack

  • 9 modules in series, each module is 4S8P, each cell is a 21700 LG M50T battery

9

Bolted to the bottom of the enclosure, 2 bolts for each module (diagonal holes).

AUX Battery

  • Back-up batteries for power-up sequence and in case main pack fails

  • Heat shrunk 10S1P, each cell is a NiMH battery.

1

Inside a separate 3D printed box. Box itself is secured on top of the long air baffle.

Boards

AFE

  • Handles interactions with main pack

  • Reads cell voltages & temperatures.

  • Performs load balancing

3

Mounted on top of three modules using bolts (using heat set inserts on the modules).

Current Sense

  • Reads pack current

1

BMS Carrier

  • Brain of the BMS system. Logs voltage, current, temperature, triggers BMS switch.

  • Used for SOC model

  • Watches our for overvoltage, overcurrent, undervoltage, undercurrent

1

DCDC

  • Converts pack voltage (HV) to voltage usable for low voltage electrical components (like fans, boards, lights, horn, etc.)

1

Mounted on top of a module using an adapter plate. DCDC goes onto adapter plate, adapter plate goes onto the module.

Main Power Switch

Main Pack Relay

  • Electrically isolates battery pack

  • Part of Main Power Switch (as defined by ASC)

2

Solar Relay

  • Electrically isolates battery pack

  • Part of Main Power Switch (as defined by ASC)

1

Fuse

Main Fuse

  • Protects components in case of current surge

1

Cooling Components

Noctua NF-F12 IPPC 3000 Fans

  • Cooling main pack (hopefully)

2

Air Baffles

  • Three types of air baffles

  • Prevents airflow going over the modules

4

Diagonal Support

  • Two types of diagonal supports (Left-Side and Right-Side)

  • Props up air baffles

4

Inlet

  • 3D Printed inlet for connecting to air duct

2

Outlet/Fan Holders

  • 3D Printed outlet for holding outlet fans

2

Connector

Molex MX150L 10 Circuit Panel Mount Plug

(MFG. P/N: 194290014)

  • For LV connections including boards & AUX

  • Only 7 in use

1

Molex MX150L 6 Circuit Panel Mount Plug

(MFG. P/N: 194290028)

  • For HV connection to solar

  • Only 2 in use

1

SB120 Anderson Connector

(MFG. P/N: 6810G1-BK)

  • For HV connection to motor

1

Possible Changes

ASC reg. 8.5.B states that wires “branching off the main bus circuit must have properly sized fuses”. Currently the main fuse is between the positive terminal of the pack and a main pack relay. It must be clarified with ASC whether by “branching off the main bus circuit”, they are requiring us to have fuses after the main fuse to protect components. I asked Forest and he wasn’t 100% sure either.

If we do need to add more fuses, we would need a solar fuse and possibly a motor fuse as well. This page will be updated once we clarify with ASC what they mean in 8.5.B.
