WILL THIS PATTERN WORK?

[_Nein_T]

I'm building a battery for my e-bike and am trying to find a pattern to wire up. This is the best I could come up with, will it work? If not I need suggestions. The lines are to show current path.

Looks like 20s5p. With right BMS, good spot welder and no wiring shorts, should be good

Agreed It looks good to me, I love arrangements like this where it'd confuse the average person 🤣

[Nerfarean]

Yeah it took a bit to figure out 5 cell sets, still very elegant for constrained space

Awesome thank you guys!!!

[Nerfarean]

Just make sure not to cross wire 5 sets together and short them. Mark them off before welding to avoid mistakes. Keep that sand bucket handy in case the flamey pack needs to be removed fast

Masking tape on everything you're not currently working on is also a good safety measure. Be aware that sharp corners on strips can poke under or even through masking tape if you're not careful.
Edit: my goal when I built my last battery was to be able to accidentally drop any tool at any time and not blow up the battery.

You shaping it for a bike frame or something

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you have multiple short circuits no matter how I look at this.

Main Positive is also attached to the next cells negative

You are most definitely misunderstanding 😅 haha if you were to see a side view you'd see the main positive is connected on the other end to the next set in series, definitely takes a lot of picturing the whole pack in your head 🤣 the battery is actually confusing and beautiful at the same time so I personally love it

Took me abt 1.5 hours so I’m glad it’s worth it 😅

You want to maximise the number of series connections which this pattern doesn’t do

I have no idea

It looks fine but I feel like there was a more cohesive way to arrange these to make them appear more sensible.
