1P5S Battery Pack Module


What?
Reused 18650 Li-ion cells to manufacture a 1P5S (1 parallel-5 series) 20V battery module for the Midnight Sun Solar Car Team as an onboarding project.

How?
Measured nominal voltage of 20+ cells using a multimeter to select appropriate cells for production, then modelled module plates in Fusion360 with spotwelding allowances in mind. Printed the module plates using FDM technoloigies and proceeded to spotweld nickel strips to create the final product.

Skills Applied
  • Cell voltage testing
  • 3D modelling
  • 3D printing
  • Spot-welding
