Hi all, one thing I think would be really useful for newbs is some form of wiki page for best practice in building packs. O know a lot of this depends on the vehicle and modules/cells being used but I reckon there's enough general information and expertise here that would be really useful in planning and building battery boxes.

I'm learning as I go here but I guess firstly I think topics to cover would include...

• BMS options (OEM hacked BMS and aftermarket)

• Wiring gauge/routing

• Cooling options and limits (at what point is cooling required?)

• Crush zones/spacing requirements

• Service disconnects

• Contactors and precharge

Anything else?

a very old bit of info I threw together, all still relevant.

This is a great start, thanks!
