420V battery with five modules equipped with custom printed circuit boards enclosed in a composites case.
Battery Pack
Second revision of the team's own BMS: a daughterboard per module, 4 interconnects instead of 24, and cell balancing.
A dedicated high voltage interface board and low voltage control board, so faults can be isolated and boards replaced alone.
Five segments sit in series inside the composite housing, each with garolite walls around the cells and fibreglass walls isolating it from its neighbours.
State of Charge is estimated from pack terminal voltage and shown to the driver.
Each module has a daughterboard reporting to a central motherboard, cutting interconnects per module from 24 to 4, and cell balancing doubled the previous system's current. High and low voltage circuitry were split onto separate boards to isolate faults.
Recruitment is open. You do not need to be an engineer or know anything about racing. Bring your curiosity and we will teach you the rest.
