Combined with a custom EM3ev triangle bag even a relatively small frame can accommodate close to 1KWhr within the frame where the weight (6.3kg) is barely felt. This Samsung Pack uses a robust and reliable 14S 40A Li Ion type BMS. A pre- charge is fitted as standard. This is a must have feature with these High Discharge Battery Packs to avoid issues with connectors and the electronic components. Cells are bonded into a pack using a special RTV with; high insulation resistance, which is flexible but also very strong. All signal cables are terminated via a PPTC to protect against a short. Even a dead short on the BMS Signal wires will not cause a hazardous situation. | ||||||||
