Is it "always" better to have as many cells as possible, or is there a balance between min and max?
I got 200 "good" cells. panasonic and samsung, together they can deliver the current i need, testing range from 2400-2600mah each. the panasonic have a higher potential nominal current, so the samsung should be the "weak" link and limiting factor.
But how many cells can i actually have in paralell, and is there a limit where it could be concidered stupidly much?
with 200 cells, average of 2.5ah the pack would be 2.5*3.7*200 = 1850wh. i want to use a maximal output of around 2kw, so less or more discharge will be around 1.1C at max, and in most cases a lot less.
The question is, if i add more cells, even not as high quality, (let's say 1800-2000mah, but still within a safe discharge of 1C) would it make sense to add 100, or a couple of 100eds of those cells to the pack? would it change the potential heat development of the total pack for example, or would it make little to no difference and just add a larger storage?
I realize that weight and volume will increase, but apart from that, is there any benefits?
