Battery Pack Manufacture Progress

As technical sub-teams shift focus from design to manufacture, so too has the battery pack project, and the pace of manufacture has stepped up in the last few weeks. As of writing, the three battery modules have been fitted with cells, and initial checks have been done by Chao Yu, the lead designer and manufacturer of the battery pack.

So far the project has progressed smoothly with few delays, thanks in no small part to the contributions by REAPsystems Ltd and Farnell UK Ltd. REAPsystems are supporting the project by donating their battery management systems (BMS), which will be used to monitor and control the operation of the Lithium-polymer based pack for optimal performance and reliability, as well as supplying the team with additional components and design expertise. Farnell UK have kindly donated electronic components and tools to CUER, which has been beneficial not only for the battery pack, but also for the rest of the electrical team’s projects.
