Last Updated: 1/22/24 Jason
This SOP provides a guide to safely manufacture and assemble battery segments of the GR23 electrical vehicle. Some of the information is compiled from the following sources.

Overview

Safety Considerations

Battery Segment Design

26s5p li-ion cells per segment comprised of Enepaq 1x5p Sony VTC6 modules

Necessary Materials, Tools, and Equipment

Machining of insulation panels

  1. Fixture panels, program cam, and set up tools on ShopBot Router referencing ShopBot SOP

  1. File edges of panels to remove sharp glass fibers

Assembly of Enepaq modules within insulation

  1. Insert modules with correct polarities and use epoxy to bond base and side panels of segment

  1. Wear proper PPE (listed in safety considerations section); those without PPE should remain five feet away and connect modules together using bolts and busbars
    • Cover work surface and ground with electrically insulating mat and use insulated tools
    • Attach voltage taps under bolt heads using solder if necessary (onto copper washers)
    • Attach temperature sensing wires to module xr connector
  2. Route wires through holes in top panel
  3. Connect voltage taps carefully and avoid short circuiting any modules

  1. Bond top panels to enclose segment
