Building the perfect battery... almost! In this video, we begin building big battery #1. This will be using a Seplos BMS with 150ma passive balancer. Challenge Accepted! We will be using the matched cells from the previous video to give the BMS the best chance at balancing the cells. I have a theory where if I arrange the cells from largest to smallest capacity, this might help to create a naturally balanced pack.
Topics covered in this video include: Prepping the box, installing the bus bars, and installing the cells and pressure plate.
