These car audio guys just can't comprehend that the 2cm thick aluminum bars are extreme overkill and don't want to admit that they're just throwing their money away.
@@yasirrakhurrafat1142 the aluminum buss bars only work with cells that have bolts. I don't recommend Aluminum I would use copper it conducts electricity better than aluminum. I actually like his PCB design. Personally I'm trying to save money so I can get some batteries for my bus that I live in but I am disabled and live on a very fixed income and it's getting hot here. The main reason why the car stereo guys use those aluminum buss bars is for looks
Car audio amplifiers do not pull a constant current. They pull currents in bursts. So these are perfectly fine for audio use with a large capacitor. It will run 10-20kw amplifier setups fine.
If using in car application do you need a balancing system? Someone had mentioned that it woild cause more of an issue than anything if one sell isnt up where need be. What would be the benefit to using a balance charger or can it charge off of alternator on its own
Just wanna say thank you for addressing the car audio community. We really appreciate the work you've put into these bus bar's. I have the 1st and 2nd gen of the 1000A plates and fixing to upgrade to the 3rd gen. Keep improving and I'll keep buying.!!
@jehugarcia As this is the smallest pcb you designed, do I have to run 32 batteries or can I use 20 or 24 batteries until I can afford more? I live in Trinidad, so shipping that many batteries may kill my budget. Will you be making smaller boards in the future?I really don’t want to buy exsensive aluminum bus bars.
Has any one tested if trickle charging Li Batteries can harm them in any way or be less efficiant , ie; if you have solar but not great, and plenty of time to spare...?
When they speak of a stiff pack they mean like back in the date we used to use capacitors as stiffening caps. And what the stiffening cap does? Is. Give them the extra boost of power instantaneous without killing the battery? So what they're saying is they want to use these batteries as a stiffening cap
I'm not familiarised with this PCBway board designs, so my question may sound a bit stupid, but could someone explain me how the series among the 4 cells is done? The design shown has no connexion among cells. Are the connexions done with external wiring? if yes, why so and not through the board directly? probably because of the amperage? Thanks for a short feedback.
There are total 32 batteries, arranged as 4 sets of 8. Each set of 8 is in parallel, and the 4 sets are in series. In each of the two designs (old and new), there's a top PCB and a bottom PCB. Starting at the + end of the pack: [+]--top--[+ Set1 -] --bot--[+ Set2 -] --top--[+ Set3 -] --bot-- [+Set4] --top--[-]. Hope that helps.
I don't disagree, but the temp measurement in the top left shows the hottest measurement on the screen. So you can at least know it isn't hotter than that.
