Campervan DIY battery build HUGE POWER!
Lithium Titanate Oxide battery build
Around 9.5kWh capacity LTO chemistry
The battery pack was designed so I could have started off with 55cells (5kWh) and later expand it by slotting in upto an extra 44 cells at a later date (when I had more coin), I managed to come up with the coin for a full pack for the build.
Batteries seem solid, although I have seen occasional reports of these batteries venting online. I'm not sure if it was from abuse or design/manufacturing flaw. Will keep you updated with performance of these.
*** am thinking about doing a group buy from a bulk distributor to get the cells at a discounted rate - let me know if interested***
(Update 28/10/20: I have had problems contacting a supplier that I purchased my batteries from. I managed to get hold of them today. The person I dealt with had left so my emails were going nowhere. If you are interested in a group buy for significant discount get in touch brendonsbuilds@gmail.com I will be going through the details of this with the supplier this week and will be in touch).

Part files: goes without saying... this is not a proven or tested battery pack design, little care, no responsibility.
BUSBAR as tested and shown in video made from 4.5mm thick ali machined - but could be laser cut. Clearances are tight so may have to be opened up if laser cut.

BUSBAR - slotted from either side, not built or tested. It has slots from either side so that any cell could be changed without having to pull the pack apart:

BUSBAR brackets, I machined these from Nylon - tho they could be printed (not recommended) have to be aware of creep in plastic on mounting points etc. All cutters are intended to have a 0.5mm corner radius on them to reduce the chance of splitting over time. This design is slightly modified from the video to make the brackets more rugged.
