New Module Layout

Owned by Micah Black
Jan 04, 2020

The cell layout is being updated from the prototype version in order to achieve better airflow between cells and thus lower the temperature difference between the cells in a module.

We will also hope to minimize the thickness of the modules so that they will fit better on the catamaran.


Cells are at positions X in the table:

The thickness of the cable channel will be the diameter of a 22AWG cable, which will be used for the voltage tap cables. We will make sure that the 18AWG cable for cell balancing is attached so that it does note have to pass through the middle channel of the cells.
