Well school will be starting for me in about one week which means that I dont have much time to work on any major projects. But as far as projects go, the last one that I will be attempting to complete for this summer is converting a brushed RC boat into a brushless RC boat. Most of the parts needed have been either bought or made. Right now im finishing up the paint job and will then move onto the electronics of the boat.
The boat will be powered by five A123: 32113 cells which deliver about 3.6 Volts each. The motor is a 2900kv brushless motor thats anodized pink. I have added an aluminum watercooling sleve to reduce the motor temperatures and to make the motor look cooler. As I begin to finnish up the project I will post pictures and eventually the whole process.
In other news, the BWD Electric Scooter has been completed and has successfully passed its maiden test run. Click the link in the side bar to go to the website!
More updates soon!
Hey Chris,
ReplyDeleteI was doing a search on the new A123 32113 cells when I came across your site. I'm an ebiker from http://endless-sphere.com/forums and I'm just wondering if you've got any more information on the 32113 cells or if you're just speculating at the moment. We all know how hard it was to get the 26650 cells from them, any idea if the new cells will be available for purchase?
Cheers,
Patrick

ReplyDeleteWow.... I guess this is a prime example of how many times I check/update this blog... Sorry for taking 2 years to reply, but if you are still interested here is the answer to your question. I can get data sheets for the A123 Cells if you would like but Im not sure if that would help. The cells are only for commercial use in electric vehicles. I was able to get a few because I have a contact who works for the company. But to my knowledge, the general public will be unable to purchase them unless they ask A123 directly. Let me know if you need more info!
