Nice work! Looks clean, you are going to be really happy with this pack when you are done. However that Quanum is going to leave you stranded 20 mile out if you don’t heed our warnings.
I think the problem is the trim pots, they seem to fail by not allowing the throttle to reach 50% in order to bind. First you will notice that you need to adjust the throttle pot constantly followed by difficult binding and eventual total failure to bind.
The battery life is another terrible aspect of this remote. Even when switched off it continues to drain the cells.
I am about to start making my battery packs. Although i have decided to go with 11P instead of 13P. This will probably reduce the size of the battery by about 100Wh. But it will cut down on about half a kilo of weight. And save me some time.
Probably around 70% are greater than 2Ah, which is the minimum capacity i am using.
I charge every cell up to about 4.2v then discharge 8 on my imax b6 then charge 4 at a time on a charger that charges them individually and gives me their capacity.
No they don’t. In series it does not matter as voltages just add up.
In parallel they need to be the same. So in your case the 2 batteries in each pack need to be identical.
so if my first set of cells that are in parallel add up to a average voltage of 4v and my second set of cells that are in series add up to 4.2v this is okay even though one set will have more than the other
Again:
Voltages in parallel group -> need to be the same.
Voltages in series -> can be different.
In your example it twas 6S2P so:
the six packs can be different from each other - the voltage will be added
the two batteries in a pack need to have identical voltages
