Thats a bunch of great points. Those are things that have a lot fewer explanations out there. There’s plenty of pictures of perfectly constructed packs to base your build on, but not knowing why everything is done the way it is done is how you end up with fishpaper rings on your negative terminals coughpsychotillercough

Someone please write a tutorial on how to make one of those CC/CV chargers using a DPSXXXX and PSU…
@Scepterr 
maybe I’ll buy one of those awesome battery packs you have for sale that I can charge with a CC/CV charger.

CNC tutorials all the way from designing the model to building out the CAM and cutting that bitch out…
Looking at you guys @ducktaperules and @Lee_Wright

Lol you literally just slap it together 
The only thing I second guessed was connecting mains to the AC/DC converter. Don’t judge, shits secure aight… 
If you get the following parts it’s more or less screw together plug n play, by far the easiest solution.
- @Banggood RD6012W USB WiFi DC-DC PS
- @Banggood RD6012W S-800-65V 11.4A Switching Power Supply
- @Banggood RD6012W Digital Power Supply Case
I second this. There are plenty examples of what to do but not necessarily why. A list of reputable sources of parts would be amazing as well! Nickel especially I’ve found can be hit or miss unless it’s from a known, trusted source.

ok yeah. lemme give it a wirl tomorrow morning. Its gonna be impromtu but it will help this place grow!

you just need to have a power supply that’s atleast 1.1x V higher than the highest voltage you want to output. Highest voltage varies by model, and there are diff max amp variations 5,15,20A. The 5A variants have a higher voltage accuracy, .001, vs .01 on the others. My personal favorite for portability is the DPS8005, for home use the DPM8616

Going to PM you for a cool idea. Give me a minute to loop in the Mods.

So I assume youre talking about a proper bench supply, low ripple, high amps and decent (%80) efficiency from the wall. I built something akin to that. its either a 96v/20 or a 60v/50a setup. I will happily do a write up now that i know theres interest.
spoiler, its dead simple

Same. I’ve ridden my mini carver twice and still don’t have the swerve. Learn me up, homies.

do it… and don’t be askeered…
i wanna make a “cost effective” 20s 4amp to 10s 4amp and mix some 12s 10amp in…
is that shit possible… can a k00k make one?

Could you please do a write up. I would really appreciate it. I’m interested in this setup (bench power supply?) rather than having a dedicated charger.
Not an electrical engineer, so I struggle a lot with this kind of stuff.

alright I guess I know what this weekend will be about…
Simply put, theres the wrong way (AC ground removal) and the right way (DC isolation) and the easier way is the right way. If you wanna hit up parts for cheap, and that will work %100 grab at least 5 of the dell z750P, and and either one of these for 96v (22s) or this for 60v (14s) at 50amps
Pick your poison, 20s proof or charge at ridiculous rates.
Its honestly dead simple. my EE master’s has nothing to do with it 
there are other ways to do this, and I will explain in the tutorial, but if youre in a time crunch these parts will allow you to build a KiloWatt supply in less than a day

honestly charging an esk8 is the most fear I have about esk8… if you can write a k00k-proof tutorial…
I’d contribute to your fansonly.com webpage!!!

Fuck yeah my dood! I may forgo my previous recommendation and wait for your tutorial 
Actually on second thoughts, based on the voltage of those dell power supplies I assume you’re simply wiring them all in series, isn’t that risky as fuck?

It is and it isn’t. If you do it the right way it’s totally safe.
