Battery CAD

[dogburtjunior]

Hey, I wanted to see if people were sharing CAD of batteries and modules they were using. Stuff like 18650s, 26650s, and 21700s are pretty arbitrary, but pouch cells and salvaged battery modules would be useful to have CAD for.

Right now, I'm working on the LG Chem N2.1 2 cell module and cell from BatteryHookup.

If a thread already exists for sharing the CAD, that'd be great. Also a recommended location to share the CAD such as GrabCAD, GitHub, etc would be useful too. Also feel free to share the CAD for batteries that you've already modeled.

I haven't looked thru this for specific models you list, but if it's helpful you could check here

for stuff on this forum, as well as within all of the many pack-design and cell-holder-design threads, as some of them may have dimension-accurate models of various bits. \

Could be some in some of these other threads about CAD

And there may be some in these, though most are not relevant:

Then there are perhaps dozens of 3D-model websites that may also have what you want, though many of them are not dimension-accurate models so you'd have to verify what they are (and fix them before using if not).

Some of them are in this search, if it helps:

Some manufacturers of cells may also have models available, but they are likely something you have to contact them for. But they probably *do* have dimension drawings available directly on their websites, that would allow creating a model from, if they don't have models.
