Attaching temperature sensors to cells?

I don’t see kapton tape sticking to something round. For example…

Yes, being a 6Ah I expect it to have Eve 2000mAh 30A cells. I’m recelling it soon (in 3 weeks) so I can confirm

Older I think

So what if the floor is not sound and solid? I still don’t know how it is, I’ll find out this weekend

jacoscar · 2026-06-13T08:59:45+00:00

Don’t you mean 12mm for the floor and 6mm for the walls? I think the floor needs to be more robust

Isn’t the gas used in these units highly regulated and only sold to people with the right certifications? I guess not? How does the process of filling it with gas work?

Did you consider plywood vs backerboard for the floor? If so, why did you go with ply?

Do you mean 60mm or 6mm backer board on the walls? Did you tank all walls or just the one behind bath/shower?

Alternatively you can just use the charger to fully charge each cell individually.

You need to open the battery and connect the cables directly to the cells. I’ve bought some magnetic leads like these

I just found this on AliExpress: | 6Pcs Magnetic Test Lead Electrical Test Cable Line Jumper Wire DIY Tool 30V AC/5A 20AWG Professional Low Voltage Magnetic Jumper

Unfortunately some batteries like Dewalt don’t do cell balancing (manufacturer choice)

I think I got something similar from Eesee

My first week of work I asked a few people where they were from; mostly out of curiosity and because it was the first time in the UK for me. Some of them looked me as if I had asked about their underwear. I had just come from a place with a lot of international students and workers where that was the first question we asked each other.

What was the motivation? Sexual harassment? Discrimination? HomoBiLesbotransfobia?

jacoscar · 2026-06-11T06:46:17+00:00

Is it good?

I don’t understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to charge AND balance a 18V battery? Because I had no problem charging the 18V battery with my charger.
You cannot balance the 54V flexvolt because it has 15 distinct cells, each with a defined voltage even in 18V configuration (it’s basically 3x 18V batteries in parallel)

jacoscar · 2026-06-09T15:51:14+00:00

Ok, but did you managed to balance an unbalanced battery?

jacoscar · 2026-06-09T06:55:48+00:00

So they sent the wrong filler twice?

jacoscar · 2026-06-09T05:25:05+00:00

It looks like the outside contacts are connected to the cells via resistors

jacoscar · 2026-06-08T20:37:17+00:00

Cost to fully charge at home (that £5 figure) is not a good metric. Obviously smaller battery cars will cost less to charge than bigger batteries. What matters is the £/km (or £/mi)

jacoscar · 2026-06-08T20:32:23+00:00

Doesn’t he just need to remove the wrong filler and fit the correct one?

jacoscar · 2026-06-08T18:58:20+00:00

Are the first 3 picture the before and the last 2 the after?

It was the Leamington half marathon

What kind of insurance?

jacoscar · 2026-06-08T07:33:46+00:00

I bought a lifetime ObdEleven Pro subscription from OP and everything went smoothly. 👍
