A123 Hypersonic Charger Balancing/connector

Hey, I sure would take some pictures. There are only 10 cells per Dewalt pack, at 3.6v per cell, they give it the 36v rating.

I will be following this walkthrough on how to disect them, but I will be making two 2s packs and two 3s packs, so I can run a 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, or 10s configuration, or a 2s2p, 3s2p, or 5s2p configuration. I'm not sure how I'll be assembling them, because I don't know how to solder to aluminum. If that is too hard, I will just configure the packs without soldering, like this:


I'm not sure how the bus bars will hold up, but I think they will be ok. I think for the 2s packs, I'll just bend the batteries over so that they are end-to-end. I'm not sure what I'll do with the 3s packs, as my rusty's chassis can't fit 3 in a row, or 2 side-by-side. I'll think of something:027:.

Brijar!!!

BTW, the pack is somewhere in MD right now :D
