The Mighty Volt
1 MW
Hi there- I am building a 120v battery pack for the first time, with A123 the preferred chemistry.
In terms of : safety, efficiency, etc, what should I know, and what should I do, not-do.
This is not so much about battery technology, just more about how not to have an accident, and how not to cause things to blow up and damage expensive batteries/components.
Specifically, I would like to hear your opinions on fuses, kill-switches, insulation, isolation, earthing, fire prevention, damage-limitation, BMS placement etc.
This thread is basically about how not to get badly hurt at worst or lose money at best.
Thanks in advance.
