Pikes Peak race car Ep6 - Battery pack wiring
It's time to wire up the batteries in the race car. Although the motors are Tesla the battery modules we're using are LG Chem modules. These have a 16s configuration which means 16 cells in series, multiply that by the 6 modules per pack and the 3 packs in parallel and that means a LOT of wiring for the BMS (Battery Management System). So sit back, relax (but don't fall asleep) as we show you what's involved in wiring up a BMS.
