Commander Electric upgrade to 18650, positive terminal installation

Video demonstrating the assembly process of the battery packs for my Electric Can-Am Commander. (part 3) In this video I explain how I make the positive terminals on my packs.

I am building a bank with atleast 28 100 cell packs for a 7s 400p bank at about 260-280 ah each. I'd like to have something I can prefab and be easily repeated. Al though i am only 1/4 the way into this build. At 1400 cells. Great video..

Just curious as to how your build is doing am I missing something or did you not put a BMS. I like your idea it looks pretty solid. Thanks for sharing

Such a good and clean setup.
I really love your work.

BTW, what kind of iron are you using? I'm using an 80W big Weller, and it works like a charm.

I'm about to do something similar. But I was just thinking . why not drill holes in the copper plate for the wires to fit into. And solder it like legs of a component on a PCB? It may not look as nice. But it could be a stronger bond mechanically. Can you think of any reason to not do it this way? There are so many ways to do this? I am also using glass fuses per cell. I will likely use about 20 ga wire on the negative side to buss. Great video.

very nice work, what is the amp hour of the battery?

[triplemoon]

is that just regular solder? or something special

[JoseGarcia-pxxj]

what kind of control charger you are using

[briankeith]

can this be built for a 14.8 or 14.4 battery?

[shaunnormancroft]

why not solder it off away from batteries just mark it up beforehand seems a backward way of doing it also you could just bolt it all together no need for solder

[joeventura]

why two wires for each and then one has 3 wires??

Use Brazing not soldering...come on now
