Is There An A123 Build Tutorial
I am seeing a lot of references to A123 cells and the Dewalt 36v packs (DC9360). Does anyone have a tutorial on disassembling these Dewalt packs and reassembling the cells into a pack for R/C aircraft? I just spent about an hour looking for one but to no avail.
If there isn't a tutorial out there would one of the knowledgeable guys please produce one? I am handy enough to be able to do most any kind of building / rebuilding but I don't want to just blindly jump into tearing apart a $100 battery. Glen |

Well since the last post I decided to start the packs. I have built NMHI packs so my biggest concern was disassemble.
POC = Peace of cake!!!! IT took all of about 5 min to have bare cells. I checked the voltage and they were all around 3.65V 1 word of advice, tin snips work great/best for seperating the cells. Also if you get a torq driver that is the right size rather then the tips that fit into the multi-screw driver it wil be easy. Anyways. I now have three packs and 1 left over cell that I am waiting for my balance taps (PQ) before I continue. IF you have ever built a pack and are happy with it A123 pack building is not anything to cause hesitation. Any ideas what to do with the Old case/electronics that were in the pack. Gotta be something worth while for it. Maybe return the case to Dewalt for a rebate LOL Highflier |
