Pics of Headway build

[jondoh]

Hey,

So here's some pictures of the headway/burrito battery build I did today...





11 cells @ 10 ah
40 amp fuse
xlr connector for charging
VL (JST) connector for power
high current battery disconnect
awg#14 wire (red and black) for power
awg#18 wire (green) for taps
ring terminals
quick disconnects
cable ties
foam cushioning
corrugated plastic board

and if my wife is feeling up to it, there will be a nylon bag with buckles and straps with velcro

It takes like 3 hours to get it all together but it's a tidy and useful package.

Nice package! will you use BMS or single cell charger to balance the cells?

I have taps to access individual cells (green wires) but in my experience, these batteries don't really need balancing.

Nice light simple packaging! How many pounds total is the whole enchilada?

Hi V.I.

According to the bathroom scale, it's 9.5 lbs. With 36v@10ah, it's not bad-- very easy to put on a bicycle. Plenty of power for most commutes.
