Battery Box Completion and Testing

Posted on May 30, 2009 by Dan Wilkins
As the title suggests, the battery box (and all the electronics within it) has been assembled and is currently being tested up at CAPE. We have also shock tested the overall battery, which involved frantically running up and down King’s Parade on the cobbles to see if anything broke (at present, nothing has!). This of course produced a lot of interest, and we had a talk with a group of curious french schoolchildren about CUER, the battery pack, and Global Green Challenge. You never know, we may yet have some more international Friends of CUER!

As a result of the credit crunch, CUER's original solar car design had to be downgraded slightly.

Many thanks to everyone that helped out, especially James and Andrew for doing the actual trolley-ing! You didn’t look like muppets at all…
