Hey guys! Francisco here saying hi to all of you! Such a pleasure to greet this amazing community!
For the last months, I’ve been really interested in building an efoil to ride it in the Rio Salado and some lakes we have here in Phoenix AZ.
I already got most of the supplies to make my own efoil (i.e. FSESC, motor, cells, spot welder, remote control, strips, and riffle case, which I plan to use as the board). Besides those, I still need to get supplies like the mast and fuselage, which I plan to do with some epoxy and carbon fiber; and a BMS once I sort out the battery building plan.
Speaking of this last part, I already got supplies for the battery, like battery cells, nickel strips, and spot welder for this part of the project. In this regard I’m kinda lost: I already got my motor, which is a Flipsky 65111 160KV DC Motor 3000W, also a FLIPSKY FSESC 75300 84V High Current 350A, and 168 cells from PAIDASHU 18650 Lithium Battery 3500mAh 3.6V.
I’ve been trying to learn what set I should use with these cells, motor, and FSESC I have before getting a BMS to fit, with no success yet. Like for example, with these specs, I’m not sure how many series and parallel I should use, so I could build a custom made holder with my 3D printer, which btw I plan to build in a combined set AKA honeycomb pattern.
I tried to see some of the content for battery building, but I feel that either some of the specs of the batteries I got are missing, like Amperage, and Wattage, or it’s over my head that I don’t get it yet. Also I tried to use the calculator we have available here in this community for this purpose, without success.
Would someone be so kind to help me first figuring out how many series and parallels I should use given the specs of my supplies, and also given that, what would be the best choice for a BMS for me to get?
Thanks in advance for your support. This is my first post here and I hope to get some help in responses.
God bless you all.
