| Part
6: Cell installation procedure |
|
Each
cell needs to have two holes punched in it to fit the brass connector
plates.
|
|
|
We
use a hole punch for the job.
|
|
|
This
is the result. The five small holes on each tab are from Kokam.
The two larger holes are ours. The brass plates push the tabs together
so the entire face of the tab is the contact area.
|
|
|
Each
plate is sanded clean to assure a good contact.
|
|
|
The
screws are dipped in gasket sealer to keep them from vibrating loose.
They are very small so blue Loctite was decided to be too strong.
|
|
|
A torque
screw driver is used to set the screws. This assures the plate is
held tightly without breaking screws. We use 7 LB-ft for these screws.
