I suggest you record gps with your phone in pocket. I have cycle analyst but hardly look at it in the race :) And afterwards add data to you video with racerender (2 minutes is for free). You can there multiply your speed to calculated constant to get rpm. And when you display rpm in video it makes ...

Increased from 30Ah to 35Ah. So 28 Bricks together. Got aluminium and plywood water and laser cut. In the process of threading aluminium and then starting to add bms and fuse and other stuff. One brick is about 890g so 28pcs will be 27,44kg. I think it will be about the same weight as my A123 25Ah p...

No, you cant.
I did not read the manual and connected this way and one side of the charger blew fuses and etc.

If you want to use both sidesnof the charger at the same time then there must be two separate batterys only.
So you must put disconnect plug in middle
Of your pack.

Made a mock-up from cardboard to see how all the stuff will fit :) There will be two 350A anderson just for two motor setup :twisted: In regular races I will use only the back one (the one where there is also charger port). Idea is that if I need to change one brick, then this can be done easily, ju...

:bigthumb: I have a question about oil level in motor. Did you feel that almost full of oil there were some more amps required to spin the motor? I have an inrunner that has a little bit of oil inside to help spread the heat from coils to outer casing. And was thinking of modifing this to oilcooled ...

Everybody have suggested that I should use lipo-s in my kart. So now I have made a plan to build this battery. And actually there is multiple goals to achieve when building this. 1. It should be lighter than my current ones. 2. I want to use this for my two controller+motor 1/4 mile test insted of t...

Just for curiosity What is your sprockets sizes for 120km/h.

Forget to asked, partnumber/type of your diode? Was searching the net today and stumbled accross this youtube video comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT_eKgLiIgo "Junsi Electronic Co.,Ltd just got back to me. It is a not a Schottky-Diode (to honor the guy, please spell it right) but a TVS -...

Replaced this Voltage regulator and charger started to work with 12V laboratory power supply output. IMG_4880.jpg Had to replace that 6,3V CAP also because it was a little puff to the eye. And it was only after I tried with 15V meanwhile. Then I turned charger off and upped voltage to 35V and when t...

Can you weight one pair with plastics?
Want to know how heavy it will be if I will use 3 pairs.

do you have link for these "Using 300amp 1/0GA welding connectors"
I will build 6p usin 8awg wires, so was thinking of crimping one pack positive and another negative together.
because anderson 350 is too bulky, but this looks promising and can keep up my average 200A and peak 650A

Forget to asked, partnumber/type of your diode? You mean the diod I replaced. I can't remember and right now it's behind heatsink I do not need to remove this time. I desoldered that diod from scrap electronics but it's parameters were similar to the working one, that was intact from my last bang :...

I measured the diod and installed similar one and it worked. I even installed not SMD diod using wires. After have fully charged my 7s lipo using 48V power supply I connected 50,7V (4x12V pb in serial) to input and something blow inside. I think I had my lipo also connected to balance port just forg...

Just a a fet or more components were blown out? fuses and one diod :) I was lucky i think considering what I was doing with it :shock: In that post i have pictures also about blown components. But this charger has two identical sets, so if you blow one side you can get blown parts numbers from anot...

I alao blowed one channel but repaired it and still working great.
I think i made a thread in this forum also for my problem i guess.

Green is amps, you can see green y axis in left.
Yellow is discharged mAh
Blue is temp
Red is pack voltage
Others are cell voltages.

Each has its own y axis in left or right
And x axis is elapsed time

Did the test with Zippy but first impression is that I need "Turnigy Heavy Duty" instead.
Will try to do more Amp test if I can get my iCharger DUO to get it to draw more amps.

Considering same thing. I bought one zippy compact 5Ah and 7s with 25c/35c raiting. Will test it with my icharger duo in sync mode with 70A and see how it handles. second choice was Turnigy Heavy Duty 5000mAh 7S 60C Lipo Pack w/XT90 but with these my pack would be 5kg heavier and also 12055cm3 rathe...

Took some time and parcipated an amateur karting event. They let me race with soviet era karts. There were two classes "Retro N" that is all soviet (frame, motor even the tires are old, made last century). And ´"Retro A" where you could use new frame and tires and even modifye motor a little bit, bu...

Do you have more information on the telemetry you've designed? This is super interesting. I'm using Sevcon and considering the same BMS. Is there a project for it somewhere? For olimex there is project in https://bitbucket.org/elektrikardid/ but it is not public. But you can't use that for telemetr...

Hey

Tested VBOX sport in weekend, better than my cycle data logger gps

Yes, one layer of copper.

Tested how limiting power is affecting motor temp and used energy. And as Latvia has now official electric kart class (two of them, one 15kw and another open up to 25kw) then it was time to test it. Motor temp were under control with 250A battery limit but lap times were 3sec slower. Also about 1,6A...

What did you use to press the copper to the battery? plastic O-Ring and paste?

Actually ended up not using any paste.
I used 8mm thick foam (you can see that in some of the pictures) that I punched out of bigger piece. I pressed it down to 2mm.

So what is the correct length, width and thickness of each module? Wasent it 0.5mm thick? Im building the same pack. Just as 6x 6s10 packs :) yes it was 0,5mm thick. I calculated that it will shrink 3mm but in reality it shrank 4mm. So my drawings are 1mm off in length I think. We never bothered to...
