Objectives

1. Build on top of Micah’s progress and push the limits of module design

2. Make quality documentation

To-do:

1. Verify battery regulations and our pack spec | June 2nd (KOSTUBH)

2. Assemble v7 | June 16th

   1. Materials

      1. Find spot welder

      2. Find thermistors

      3. Find DAQ

   2. DAQ

      1. I/O with PC

      2. header soldering

      3. thermistor assembly

      4. thermistor placement (Module Testing Wiring Schematic - Google Slides)

      5. voltage sense assembly

      6. voltage sense placement

   3. Spot-weld nickel strips

3. Debug PSU

4. Testing procedure | June 30th

   1. Charge/DIscharge profiles

5. CAD Module Iteration | July 14th

6. Build v8 | July 21st

7. Test | July 28th

8. TBD

Phoebe’s Ongoing to-do list (in order):

• Figure out DAQ and thermistor placement
• Look into how to attach the thermistors
• Figure out what parameters you want to test
• Heat on the bus bars
