Marcus 1st winter build [south of Lower Saxony / Germany]

Bad wheather in Germany :cold_face:
Time to build second battery pack. Again 2x 7S8P to have 14S8P with Molicell P42.
The first same pack with ~1.6kWh gave me on my first 7 rides now a operating time of ~1 hour and something over 17km range.

And did you 3d Printet the Holder fpr the Cells by your selve?

Nkon in NL, but they are now sold out :sunglasses:

yes, see CAD picture somewhere above

Little update after 4 month of foiling, 2 month of it excessiv :slight_smile: 3-4 times a week at the end with trying to jump.

The acrylic frame under the gasket broke at several locations and I had some water inside the box. Not critical because all electronic components are inside at least IP67 boxes, but not nice.
I decided to replace by an frame out of 3mm aluminium, 2mm would have been also ok. Again sealed/glued with Dekalin.
Let‘s see how good it will work. For now it is 100% tight again :hugs:

It was a great season (still foiling) with estimated more than 3000km on the water :smiley:
One highlight was one week with 24/7 foiling on the Eastsee in Boltenhagen in September 2023

For 2024 I want a new board: Smaller, less weight, faster opening/closing of hatch, longer Gong V2 mast with more stiffness.
Build of V2 has started now… see new post
