We Made a 200–Mile Range Battery for the Electric Ducati (Parts List Included)

Today, Lord Curt shows us how to build a 15kwh battery pack for our 2002 Ducati Monster 750! This thing will be on the road before you know it. Next video we will be rapairing & wrapping/painting the tank and finishing the battery installation into the bike! Can't wait to show you what we got!!

PARTS LIST:

Ok lets just say. we all need a friend like Lord Curt. That dudes a legend.

I learned a bunch from the battery discussion here. I made my first 18650 battery for a Razor 72 volt dirt bike conversion and made a few mistakes that are explained here. I used low amp, high capacity Panasonic cells because I didn't know better and at 4 in parallel, have a huge amount of voltage sag when I ride the bike. I thought just due to the cells, but maybe also due to my wiring. I have some high amp output cells on the way and will do 10 parallel this time, but also focus more on the battery connections this time too.

I learned so much about building battery pack with this video. I think resistance calculations about wires that connects batteries into series and parallels are one of most neglected topic among battery builders. And here the pack builder talks more about it more than any other battery packs builder that I watched. Kudos to him for being so passionate and doing a great job.

Love how geeked lord curt got over the battery, you can easily tell he is proud of his work because he knows it's really descent!

Stoked for you guys. Love these long detailed videos. You’re going to love that hub motor combined with the available amps in this setup. Glad you won’t have to deal with the same battery issues on the cb. Those HUB motors are crazy powerful and wicked silent. Great design and execution on the battery Lord Curt! The fiberglass bottom was a nice touch. And the sense wires was nice and clean too.

Will you run the entire pack through a shunt for monitoring? I like the idea of bypassing a smaller BMS for discharge.

I’m still struggling with the space for a 2 phase charger on the bike itself so I can take advantage of charging stations. That would be so clutch

That thing is going to be a torque monster when it's finished! Harley only wishes it could build something to this point of excellence!😁👍

I wanted to see this for a long time, Thanks! <3

[coolissimo]

The Ducati is such a gorgeous bike, looking forward for the next videos, Inja, and happy new year.

Watched this four times now. Took me a bit to figure the configuration. Very clever layout of the 8P x 32S configuration. Well done

[MrCentralDriver]

I’m a watch this on my lunch. I need to stop by and hang with you guys when you do this stuff. I wanna learn !

[kswis]

Man-o-man wiring up the balance voltage sensing leads is SUCH a tedious project

[theprodigalstranger]

That was one Very Merry Christmas at the Lords house lol

[dadsfriendlyrobotcompany]

Can't wait to see the build continue! This episode reminds me that I have to sit down and make my new power wheels battery. Going from 1800W to 5000W

[TheRealAlpha]

More like "Battery Lord" Curt! Geez, that thing is a monster it looks like it's almost as heavy as the bike before you removed the engine.

[dalehall]

This will be a good one, 100 volts can't wait to see what it does. Lord Curt the man supplying the power!

[tomkacandes]

There is no such thing as too detailed a battery build discussion. Love it.

[JonathanBirch]

Lord Curt is a mixture of Awesomeniss and Badassery.
Keep on living your dreams.

[midwestbest]

thank you for sharing a parts list! been wanting to do something similar for years just always worried I would buy something that burnt up after a few hours of use. now I can see how it holds up

[WrHwkXX]

lol these batteries configurations are getting crazier ... and it LIKE IT... MORE

[Badgermilk-zcwy]

Battery looks good, but you forgot the cell level fuses. I would be very nervous about a pack this size without tesla style cell level fuses. You have a lot of faith in those Chinese cells!
