    "Copper/nickel sandwich" buses for series connections

    wish i had pics but they are on my old laptop. basically imagine the p groups look like sections in a box cutter blade, except the ends.

    "Copper/nickel sandwich" buses for series connections

    beautifully made pack. i made one similar then another one after that. i realised you dont need to do the zigzag pattern! it can be all done with straight diagonal shapes except the groups at the ends of the pack, still need some curvy tailoring. much quicker to cut out and weld that way.

    TIG torch for battery spot welding

    yep hopefully. its more that some may use copper scrap from a hot water cylinder or something that has been designed to withstand corrosion and not realize.

    Hyperion Eos repair. anyone had success????

    im so sure there is one component that's prone to failure in these chargers. at firsts I thought the 3905 fet, but its gotta be something that regulates current or voltage to the fet that causes the replacement to blow too. its not any of the ics or any of the smarts, that all still seems to be...

    good balance charger recommendations please

    Thanks Markz. Iv now got myself one of the oldshool ichargers, 3010b coming in post. I decided I didnt like the new ichargers with touch screens as I know how easy they are to break one way or another, and as if to confirm that, i saw in your link there, buddy rc selling replacement screens...

    TIG torch for battery spot welding

    apparently there are some copper alloys that contain phosphorus for anti corrosion properties. they can be 30% less conductive than electrical grade types. something to be aware of.

    TIG torch for battery spot welding

    what alloy of copper sheet are you using? does the torch require high gas flow when operating?

    good balance charger recommendations please

    good balance charger recommendations please

    so i ordered an Icharger 3010b. It will balance 10s and very few others will, can run on dc with 1000w output, terminal voltage can be adjusted nicely. its got the old simple screen style but i dont trust the new x6 or x8 models, looks like the touch screen could be another failure pint, and...

    Hyperion Eos repair. anyone had success????

    Those are great ideas. I was thinking of upgrading fets, but as my electronics journey is still in infant stage, I was not sure if i could do that, and if they would be compatible But, I think I need to solve the root of the issue first. the new fets I used were blown under no load on start up...

    good balance charger recommendations please

    thanks for that. I knew they made BMS, but not the chargers. I checked the specs, most of the chargers say minimum output 10.0v dc, but that it can charge lifep04 1s,(3.2v nom.) I don't understand how that could work. I'm keen to know as one of the jobs i need it to do is 1s lifepo4. I have...

    Hyperion Eos repair. anyone had success????

    So my second(and last) Hyperin Eos blew up while charging lifepo4 at 3.4v. This is the second time I'v had a Hyperion blow up with the same symptoms. the 4905 fet blows with a resulting short across its legs. Iv replaced all the fets only to have the same 3905 fet blow immediately or soon...

    good balance charger recommendations please

    Hi my second Hyperion EOS 1420i finally just blew up! after spending a day trying to fix it, iv decided to pony up and get a new one. Im just looking for some pointers to a good charger to replace it. I'm looking for something to charge packs of up to 10s liion, 42v max i suppose, with output...

    E-Fun or Xtreme XM-3100 Controller info

    variable regen is usually activated with a thumb throttle, at least that's what i use for my adaptto controllers. id say the others work the same, basically a variable signal wire, gnd ,+5v kinda deal.

    E-Fun or Xtreme XM-3100 Controller info

    congrats! you got yourself a serious 6phase motor reported to be one of the best quality ever made. that thing runs at high redundancy in the stock bikes, they are very efficient and capable of crazy amounts of power. one of the "hubmonster motors" you can run 2 x 3 phase controllers with...

    E-Fun or Xtreme XM-3100 Controller info

    Efun xtreme has different motor types depending on how old the model is. if its 6 phase(6 phase wires) you can use 2 3 phase controllers with regen in this case. pics would help id the motor.
