Battery case for DIYers

I will check… if you have a link feel free to share.
I guess the pressure membrane is similar to what exists on some surf boards

This is the Amphenol one I ment. However I´m not sure about the burst function. https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Amphenol-LTW/VENT-BJ002?qs=0LO0wKYbZFWjShDfhaaRgg==

Another one is this one. It´s larger in size but might have better functions and quality.

Yes this is what I know from surfboards.

I will surely implement that in my final assembled packs.

Bimed product looks interesting but can’t find it on their website… :frowning:

Hi Renaud,
there seems to be a new one - take a look here https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/?qs=5aG0NVq1C4wAxWre7fChJA%3D%3D

by the way, amphenol connectors compatible with my casing for reference:
plug black
plug orange
socket orange

The new car batteries are filled with 2K sealant fluid as well as they have problems with condensing water after some years of usage…( they use similar stuff as silicon, but not silicon as that is kind of forbidden in car factories :sweat_smile:)
This new fluid has better heat transfer than air and it can be mixed with anti explosion and heat /oxygen-absorption material (similar to pyro bubbles)
We use this as well, and are happy with it now…
Fluid is available at bodo möller chemical, but very hard to get, only large quantities and very expensive…

I never understood those people that like things filled with silicon :grin:

@ELEVATE.rocks is this fluid you’re talking about electrically insulating?You don’t want packs this big shorting out…
Also can you give me a link to it?
I can’t find it anywhere… :frowning:

yes it is !
You dont find it online as it is only for industrial use. They dont sell to private customers and only 30l+ . Specific name is bluesil and company bodo möller chemie :wink:

I am sharing today a 14S12P setup I am having prepared for some tests… just to show how the cells count fits in.

we shipped the first case few days ago, some more shipping next days…

In case some are interested on mantafoils website store there is now possibility to also order ready to use battery with pack inside.

we do it as a custom service only at this moment, no mass production.

we have been running our packs nearly every day in the past weeks and so far so good. we also have some customers who got the casing and did their own systems.

Let me know if you ever come out with one that is slightly smaller in height, like say 82mm total. Would love to use your case but too thick for a Lift board or similar size board enclosures.

Unfortunately no such plan. Sorry

Just curious, why is there so much space between cells (65mm long) and the interior part of the case (87mm) ?

for 3 reasons:

  1. the initial pack we got from suppliers was 80mm thick (due to the spacers)
  2. bms is on top of the pack
  3. our planned boards have enough height to deal with this so it’s not a constraints. that also allow us to have more volume boards with smaller footprint.

Hi,
I have a flying rodeo board and your battery pack is too high for me and think maybe same for people with lift boards maybe?
If the height was lower i be keen on a purchase

unfortunately at this moment there is no intent to have it thinner as the height is based on our battery layup where the BMS fits above the cells against the aluminum panel for better heat dissipation.
should we have large order we could make custom thinner version

Hey @morgansteven1970, I have a Lift board and I agree. I found some awesome cases that fit within the size I required. DM me and I’ll give you links!
