Silent As An Owl

In Shanghai/China they have millions of electric scooters and kick scooters.
You have to be very vigilant, crossing the road because they are silent as an owl.
Electric drive is very popular in China and there are also more and more electric cars every day.
This is how they charge them.

Buddy Balance

I am checking and balancing 22 Calb CA60 cells for a friend.
First I am checking each cell voltage and label it. There was one cell with a higher voltage.
While I was charging the whole pack in series, I already had to balance this cell with a 0,1 ohm resistor because the voltage was going up in the sky.
At the end I had a pregnant cell.
A sure sign for a dead cell.(

Tesla Fuse Connection

Tobias  has a battery module from a Tesla Roadster.
The 18650 batteries are connected with a small wire to the main board that works like a fuse. When the current is getting too high because of a bad cell, the wire melts and this battery is out of the pack.

Serious Problem


The good news is: She made it to Switzerland, driving non stop 188 Km,
 and up to 1200 m height NN (3.937 feet NAP).
But in front of the Hotel I had to drive backwards....and then this happened.(
I am still investigating what really happened. Both steering knuckles bent completely.
First the right and than, because of 600m depth in front of me I had to drive backwards again, and killed the left side.
I tormented her into the garage and hope to fix it before the next job...?!
