You just know that any day that starts with a good cup of coffee and new toys to play with is heading in the right direction! We’ve had a couple of these days in a row – here’s how they’ve unfolded so far:
The first part of the fun began when UPS brought the battery management board kit that we ordered from Gary Goodrum at TPPacks.com. He and others on the Endless Sphere battery forum designed a battery management board tailored to PSI and A123 LiFePO4 cells used in electric bicycle-sized battery packs.
It took a couple of minutes to remember which box the soldering irons were in, then the fun started. The BMS went together quickly and worked first time. Always a good sign!
The next piece of the puzzle happened along last week when our friends at UPS brought us a couple of boxes. Now we have a new batch of 40138 cells to use – and some new battery chargers to test.
Stay tuned for part two - the fun is just getting started!
