The only purpose for the stock Leaf busbars was to tie the middle terminals of the paralleled modules together. In my case, that was a good application, but if you are tying five center terminals together, I'd even make custom bars for that too, although they won't need to be very big, as in a perfect world, there isn't going to be very much current flowing in that part of the circuit.
I considered this when making my busbars, but decided to size the center terminal bus bars as large as all the others, just in case a module developed an open fault in one half and the other half had to exit out the sense terminal. (possibly doesn't matter as internal connections inside the module may be smaller as well....) It also made things easier to just make everything out of the same bar stock.
Bussbar construction starts at around the 3 minute mark at the video here: https://www.summet.com/blog/2015/10/31/how-to-build-a-16-volt-battery-module-from-six-nissan-leaf-cells/ Jay _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
