battery mockup today.
I'm trying to squeeze 12 lifepo4 bricks into the frame. its gonna be a tight damn fit, but I think I can do it. should give me a 80ish volt 13.5ah pack that weighs 24lbs (ouch) but hopefully is less likely to burn down my house or work, and only cost about 1000$.
I've actually got 3 battery options
1: is a 74v 13 ah li-nmc pack from hpc for 1600$ (but only weighs like 13lbs) down side is it wont last as long as the lifepo
2: have em3 build me a custom pack when the 25r cells come in. again hopeing for a 80v 13ah size pack. probably similar price to option 3.
3. go with the lifepo4 bricks I mocked up today. gives the bonus of using the bms from the adapto, which looks like it has neat features. downside is im scared to deal with hobbyking for that big of an order. heard horror stories. that and its going to be a rast nest and a lot of soldering to get the packs together and working with the bms.
any ideas?
