These are the konion cells inside 10s2p
Here's my version of a duct tape pack 4xBosch, before and after (see no BMS on right since
batteries are wired directly to the slot connectors for output)
The spring loaded slot is for the charger's temp sensor cutoff, and to ensure the pack is properly
seated for charging.
Cutting the cell holder open. I haven't cut myself, but please do be careful. I like
to retain some of the red cell holder for structural integrity of the pack without
wasting too much room.
They don't stack very well until you get rid of some of that excess plastic. I used
an angle grinder to make quick work of it. It can be cut off, but that's even more
dangerous than cutting them open.
Tomorrow I'm going to try running my e-motorcycle with just 6 packs in parallel. I may
only get 5-6 miles of range, but should be a lot more fun than the 180lbs of lead it replaces.
Since I'm keeping it at 36V, I plan to reconnect the charging slot to the pack for easy charging.
