In this episode we look a what goes into building a battery box. From fabrication through to connectors, we cover all the main bits and pieces. However, one caveat is that this is NOT a comprehensive video on how to build an electric car battery box, that would take a lot longer than a short KZbin episode.
Thanks to Mouser for sponsoring this video. Check out their site for lots of EV components that we use in all of our builds.

I enjoyed hearing about all the engineering in these battery boxes. Back in the early, lead-acid days of battery boxes, the DIY people used wooden boxes and such to hold tonnes of batteries in them. Your containers (and batteries) are miles ahead of those 1970s installs I saw way back then. Electric car conversions are the most fascinating subject in the whole realm of automobiles. I never tire of learning about your conversions. Aloha.

What always amazes me, as somebody who works in industrial controls, encountering large motors every day; is how small the motors (and indeed inverters) are. For example this week I’ve been wiring 250kw motors which weigh over 1 tonne each, are approx 1500mm long and 900mm diameter, with inverters which are 600kg, 2000mm tall enclosures! It’s insane that they get 2 or even 3 times the power density in EV tech.

Always interesting to see just how these battery Boxes perform their function. I doubt that the Battery Boxes would be mounted upon elastic-type engine mounts (at the front of the vehicle), and, (as such), the battery Box would help to serve some needed stiffening of the chassis - or monocoque construction, resulting in a vehicle that handles much better. This is one spin-off benefit, not mentioned here. There is no heavy Engine Lump that is rocking and rolling under your bonnet!

Thanks for your explanations of the battery packs. Here’s something I wish you would explain. Why do things effect electric vehicles more an petroleum vehicle? You said with fantastic looking black truck that changing tires would increase mileage by 15%. Why so much? Yes it would effect an ICE vehicle, but not 15%. Pulling a trailer is another thing that seams to effect an electric more than an ICE vehicle. Please explain. Use the whiteboard if needed. Love all that you guys do!

The effect is the same whether it’s petrol or electric. It’s just a matter of energy, I.e. how much energy it takes to push something along the road.
@francesconicoletti2547
@francesconicoletti2547 10 ай бұрын
I suspect it’s that nobody cares about efficiency in petroleum vehicles. Petrol is extremely energy dense. If you need more range put in a bigger fuel tank, it’s just a sheet metal box. Petrol is lighter then water so the weight of the tank even full is not much. Batteries however have a low power density compared to petrol, are expensive compared to a sheet metal box and are heavy. Finding ways to not run down the energy in the battery is easier then putting in a larger battery.

Hello, from one Richard to another THANK YOU!! I really enjoy your videos as part of my research. One think that just came to mind watching this video is... With some projects having more than one box, do the electronics see it as 1 battery pack? Could you for example have a smaller pack for daily use and then add another battery box if you need to go on a long journey? I've seen the Chinese cars that swap packs out and you lease a larger one if needed? Just wondering if any of your customers have requested such a thing, Drop tanks on the wings :) LOL

Or scope for weight savings?

It seems there is one deficiency in the cooling system. The modules are cooled in parallel, good, but the coolant from the first battery flows to the second battery. So, the second is operating at a higher temperature and therefore will have a shorter cycle life.

@drumbrakes
@drumbrakes 10 ай бұрын
It's seperate, unless you get into the very integrated world of Tesla heat boxes where can use a heat pump to transfer warmth from the batteries to the cabin. If it's cold and you want to heat the cabin, you may also want to actively warm the battery. There's a fascinating youtube video from WeberAuto that goes into the Tesla heating & cooling system. Basically it can take heat or cold from any part of the car and transfer it to another part of the car for incredible thermal efficiency, but it requires absolute design integration from every part of the car. I think we're a fair way off being able to use such techniques in classic conversions...

Its actually used as a replacement material for ceramic isolaters in main grid power pylon insulators for hanging the cables...its also highly chemical UV and temperature resistant... Its also highly impact/ballistically resistant and maintains integrity from -250 - + 850 deg c actually. over a 1000... Its green to produce use and recycle. 😉🧙‍♂️ Cost should be a bit more than E glass but below or on par with S glass. It doesnt fail like carbon It can be easily and safely worked and doesn't polute in the environment... its natural rock spun into fibers and can be added to resins or moulded into castings..or pressed pannels. If you wanted to add lightness you can use it with flax .. just a 👽 thought.

Some very good quality work and explanations. There are some very real positives for taking gas guzzlers cars off the streets especially as GB does not have e85 from Biofuels which is probably closer to carbon neutral. This is not to say obviously that electrification is the complete solution as all heavy vehicles waste energy (anyone doubting this is welcome to borrow my push bike out with the panniers filled up a few hills just to check). However, could you handle the burning subject of how to deal with fires involving EVs (should one have this misfortune). Is it best to just run for it or is it possible to find a fire extinguisher that can be integrated into the design? What type of extinguisher? Capacity ? Possible activation from a safe distance? In addition, Lithium batteries are just a temporary fix as they are heavy and environmentally questionable. Are alternatives coming to market and will they be easy (in your opinion) to replace the dated technology from one of the US suppliers ?

[As part of France's energy transition it is very popular as it is made from agri waste (not maize as in US etc). It is simply crazy that the Cons disregard this. It would be a good solution for sugar beet contaminated with some of the awful pesticides put down (and which are unsafe)] I agree that Lithium is not easy to manage, and this is why I would genuinely like to know if the pros have a solution other than making heavy boxes.

@Andrew-vx2ls I think it's something in the region, of a year of the average persons consumption of corn/maize, to produce enough ethanol to fill large tank full of E85, which is probably why its not available in the UK tbh, although even at the current 10% ethanol content, potential food is taken out of the food chain.

So why dont manufacturers use Battery boxes of this type of construction ?. i.e. The Range Rover hybrid which just took out 1000+ cars at Luton. That thing was going like a blowtorch under the car.

Because they are now designing the cars around the battery pack (mostly roller skate frame where the battery pack is so tightly fitting it actually provides structural rigidity). Remember, ECC are converting classic cars in a way that allows the cars to be returned to ICE, to ensure owners don't lose value if they decide to sell back into the classic car market. NB: The above is my opinion, I am not associated with ECC or with the car industry. But I love classic and future classic cars.

Why does everyone think it was a hybrid that started the Luton car park fire. Who starts these lies? It was a 2014 diesel Range Rover, numberplate and as E10 EFL. Not a hybrid.

With EV battery fires being quite common lately, how exactly do you manage thermal runaway should a pack combust? How do you minimise risk etc?

Which EV fires are quite common lately? I try to keep a close eye on such things and other than batteries in cheap Chinese scooters we seem to have had remarkably few. "Thermal runaway" is the term used for a battery that is beyond help ... as you would see in the video they make sure there is an escape route for gases in such an event.

@@MrAdopado so you missed the news about the fire at Luton Airport from a Range Rover Evoque hybrid that took down the entire arrivals car park? It now has to be demolished as a result. As for the escape hatch, well that just let’s the fire vent. Is there anything within these battery boxes that acts as an extinguisher to control the fire risk?

@MrAdopado over the years, there's been hundreds of lithium fires in tech , but as such, more and more safety devices are in place (balance charging, low volt cut offs, over voltage protection, Tesla not allowing fast charging of any car that's had a decent G shock etc). Still not 100% safe, but getting better as time rolls on. Storing that much energy in a small place, os always going to be, challenging , be it Hydrozine, nuclear or electricity.

@barryamorris bigger questions need raised tbh, like why when there's a serious recall, (Believe the Range Rovers where being recalled, due to an issue with the high voltage line?), are the cars still driving about. Although the % risk is low atm, as more and more EV's are on our roads /car parks, we'll see /hear more, maths says that, but also more and more will be aging with batteries coming to the end of their working life. I know IC cars have fires (classic car scene is awash with fuel lines rotting with modern ethanol fuel), I've got an OMP system for under the bonnet suppression for my project, so not sure if a similar systems can be fitted to these battery boxes.

Great video - thanks. Are the boxes aluminium or steel (stainless?). Are the boxes permanently sealed (looks like a large amount of gooey sealant is applied as well as a number of fasteners) to stop customers getting inside and having a fiddle? Lastly, Mike Brewer, you must tell us all about your amazing weight-loss scheme. You are looking grand!
