Keyword: 36V SAMSUNG FRAME PACK (10.25, 12.3, 14.0 & 16.5AH OPTIONS)
Note: Batteries must be Shipped, using a Battery Shipping Option, we cannot use regular DHL or any other non-battery option. If your order includes a battery, please checkout with an option starting with the word "Battery" if there is such an option available. Additional shipping costs may be required if there is not a suitable option listed or if an unsuitable option is selected. Please note most batteries are built to order, which requires typically 14 days to complete, prior to shipping. 2A Charger is included.
Our frame mounted pack can be built with either 10S 5P or 10S 6P (can also be built in 13S 4P, but that will be a separate listing). There are also a choice of 2 cell types currently available, which means the capacity is from 10.25Ah, up to approx 16.5Ah, depending upon the internal layout and cell type used. The frame mounted packs are lockable, water resistant and have a USB charging outlet. There is also a simple battery level LED indication and the battery has a power switch which has an LED to indicate when power is on. The power switch does not pass the discharge current, it only switches the BMS output on/off. This means a Pre-charge is not necessary and means the switch is not liable to failure as is so common on packs that pass the discharge current through a switch.
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 as with all our packs to protect against a short. Even a dead short on the BMS Signal wires will not cause a hazardous situation. 4mm bullet will be fitted to the cables exiting the slider as standard. Charger is included, it is a suitable 42V 2A unit, intended for 10S Li Ion. The slider is easily mounted to the frame using the water botlle mountings.
Specification:
- 42V 2A fan-less plastic case charger is included. These are a good quality charger with UL and CE. (may differ from the charger shown in some images).
- We conservatively rate the cells as 2.05Ah each (SDI-ICR18650-22P) and 2.75Ah (SDI INR18650-29E), although the maker classes them a little higher than this. Like with any Li Ion type battery, best long term performance is obtained by not using all of the available capacity all of the time. It is possible to use the high power INR18650-20R cells (10C rated) for this pack if requested, but due to the limited discharge rate available from the BMS (which is fixed), we considered it a combination that doesn't make so much sense.
- Cycle Life estimated at 700 cycles plus (1C Discharge to 2.7V, 1C charge to 4.2V). Cycle life is extended by charging to 90% and limiting discharge to 90% and also by more moderate usage. To accurately limit discharge the Cycle Analyst is a great tool.
- PPTC thermal fuses used on all signal wires. If a fault were to ever occur on any of the small balance wires which run around the battery pack, the fuse simply shuts down the connection and keeps everything safe. Once the fault condition is removed, function returns to normal.
- Maximum Charge Current 3A max (BMS has a 3A PPTC fitted for protection and also the DC2.1 Charge plug used, is rated 3A max). We will investigate increasing this in the future. See suitable chargers in related products.
- Discharge Current, recommended 20A continuous (BMS Limited). There are a range of capacities available, the recomended controller current rating for each is as follows: 10.25Ah-22P (~20A), 12.3Ah-22P (~25A), and 16.5Ah-29E (~25A). There is very limited space in the case for a larger BMS, plus the BMS must include the remore power on/off function, which further restricts the choice of suitable BMS. With the highest capacity (16.5Ah) pack, you may be ok to run with a slightly higher rated Controller, of approx 30A, as long as these high current levels are not continuously applied. Excessive current levels will cause cell heating, premature aging of the cells and may damage the BMS. This is not a high power battery pack by EM3ev standards. Please match the Battery Pack appropriately, with the rest of the Kit.
- Maximum dimensions of: 85mm thick. 130mm tall, 350mm long. See labelled picture in additional images for detailed information, as it has a complex shape.
- Weight: 10S 5P, 22P - 3.6kg, 10S 6P, 22P - 4.1kg, 10S 6P, 29E - 4.3kg, (including slider).
