Using MightyBoyEV - Battery Upgrade October/November 2010 - Page 4
Wiring
All the cell modules are daisy chained as shown.....
The other wiring in these photographs is used for the Paktrakr system (Ken Halls Li-ion Model with current sensor and data logging option)
I have installed this to allow me to monitor each cell from within the MightyBoy cabin, in addition it acts as
a "fuel" gauge and has extra alarms should a cell go out of range (used for redundancy should the main system fail)
The hardest part of this upgrade was getting rid of this tame bloody bird! What a pest......
Happy little "Green" Led's.....
First charge and all seems good!
The completed traction pack.....
Luckily the old cover can be reused - just need to fill a couple of spare holes......
The new pack is smaller and sits much lower in the ute tray.....
The vehicle is magic to drive now - I can use the full current range of the 450 Amp motor controller - NICE!
More on the performance and new watt-hours figures soon
